Can a WD My Cloud be configureed to run nightly backups of some of my files

Use the supplied "SmartWare" software to set up your backup options on a schedule, but remember to leave your PC running for the backup period you have set. The SmartWare user manual is here:

Hey there, Raptor18!

@Phillip Corcoran is right, you can use the WD SmartWare that comes with the My Cloud. You can use the link he provided to learn more about the software itself. I can also add up with a couple of links from our KB that explain how to backup to the WD My Cloud and create a scheduled backup using SmartWare.
