Can i connect 2 WD My Cloud NAS drives for mirroring?

Hi,

Can I connect a second WD My Cloud NAS drive to my existing WD My Cloud 3tb so that the second one can act as a back-up (mirror) the first one?

many thanks,

sevenzero

I don't think you can setup them up like that. You can how ever manually copy everything from one to another and make your own backup.

This is an EXCELLENT EXCELLENT question, and a great reason to purchase several of these drives.

A single backup of data on a NAS is not a backup. We should also have an offsite (in the garage) or remotely in the office, or across country of our data. Be prepared for a drive failure, a fire or a theft of the NAS drive itself.

Not sure this is RAID1, but probably would work. It would be better to be able to setup a realtime reflection of all data written that spans the internet and allows a real site-to-site mirroring of ones MyCloud.
