I have a WD My Book 4Tb USB-attached to a ASUS RT-AC68u
I also have a WD My Cloud NAS.
WD backup ecosystem uses " WD Smartware Pro" to backup Windows PC to WD attached disks and NAS. On a WD NAS, it also uses a function called " Safepoint" to automatically backup the whole NAS somewhere else (in order to recover if there is a failure with the NAS).
First, from the My Cloud NAS (will call it NAS ), I tried to setup a Safepoint on the My Book attached to the ASUS RT-AC68u (will call it MBasus ). The MBasus see the share on the NAS and ask for the ID and password to access the share. Whatever I try, I’m said that either the id or the pw is invalid, and as far as I know, it is really not the case. Is there something I should do to make them “friends”?
Second, from my PC (Windows 8.1), I tried to setup a PC backup using " Smartware Pro". In its setup page, Smartware doesn’t even see (or show) the MBasus drive. Again, is there something I should know and do in order to have Smartware be aware of the drive attached to the Asus router?
Thanks for helping.
