I have a WDMyCloud 2TB and I’m trying to back up to it using Windows Server Backup. The backup works to other shared drives but not to my WDNyCloud. I have various forums about iSCSI and SMB3 but I can’t find any solutions. Help would be much appreciated. Many Thanks
It appears from quick googling that Windows Server 2012 has some problems backing up to non NTFS formatted NAS drives like the WD My Cloud. With respect to the WD My Cloud you may want to review the following thread where a similar problem of being unable to backup to the WD My Cloud from Windows Server 2012 was discussed and one possible solution was linked to in that thread.
WD My Cloud 4GB And Windows 2012 Server Backup
The other option is to possibly use a third party backup software program and not the built in Windows Server backup program.
I had the same error. I finally tried changing the WD Mycloud settings to use SMB 1.0 (instead of 2.0 or 3.0), rebooted the MyCloud and everything worked.
