I have been using a WD My Cloud NAS for many years and have had very few problems with it apart from one where the time machine backup fails and when I try to set the time machine up again it always fails. There is a fix so I thought I would share it with any other WD My Cloud users who experiwnce the same issue.
- Login to the WD My Cloud web interface. This is done by entering the following url into your browser address bar
- Windows:
http://wdmycloud/ - macOS:
http://wdmycloud.local - If you have changed the name of your WD My Cloud device then replace wdmycloud with the name of your device
- Windows:
- Now enter your username and password and select Login
- Select Settings
- In the Mac Backups section click on the ON/OFF button so that it is turned OFF
- Now click on the account button located top right
- Select Reboot from the dropdown menu
- You will now have to wait 5 minutes or so whilst your NAS reboots and initialises. Once complete you will need to open the web interface again
- Login to the WD My Cloud web interface by entering the following url into your browser address bar
- Windows:
