I also view the backup from windows 10, perhaps it’s doing something similar. One question I have about this is that I do not modify the files in the backup. I got some support from WD regarding my issue, pasting it below. I need to find the specific log file on the NAS that lists the activity associated with safepoint updates, which file is that and where can I find it ? info file that is dumped in the WDSAFE folder on the My Book, this file is from yesterday when the safepoint was created … I do not see one or any log file for the auto-update.ĭid not see any notifications in the dashboard either. The time stamps of some directories which I changed on the NAS are as of this morning (on the My Book), however the contents within them are old, time stamps for the files have not changed and new files which i created on the NAS yesterday are not present on the My Book as of today. In the My Cloud, i set auto-update to on for an overnight backup, but i am perplexed by what actually happened. If one uses a router that is capable of file sharing (Samba for example) through a USB port on the Router then one could configure Safepoint to backup to the USB hard drive attached to the router.ĭespite the warning notification i got yesterday it appears that the safepoint was created on the My Book and I am going to take some time to test random files in the backup in order to make sure they were copied fully … One of the good things about Safepoint is it doesn’t rely on any other computer when the USB drive is connected to the My Cloud’s USB port. Remove that computer from the network and the backup/sync no longer gets performed. The main downside to using software like Chronosync is the need to rely on a computer to host the software. It’s not practical for me to connect the My Book to a PC because I only use laptops, so I keep the drives near the router in one place and connect to them via wifi mostly from PC/Tablet/Phone. Would I be better off plugging the My Book into my router’s USB connection instead of rely on the NAS USB connection ? so long as my drive paths are constant and do not change, then I will just manage my nightly’s from Chronosync with a schedule. I think that I am going to disable safepoint all together and instead try to use Chronosync to mirror the NAS → My Book.
