Sorry, this method may seem troglodytic.
1) use google reminders on your droid or main computer to remind you to back up on a certain day.
2) use TeraCopy for the actual copying.
3) click My Computer.
3a) click E:\ drive.
3b) CTRL-C
3c) click G:\ drive.
3d) CTRL-V
4) When teracopy detects that files already exist, etc, tell it to overwrite with new versions only, or something like that. It's one of the options.
That is how i normally do it. But my issue with this is that when i tried to copy 2TB worth of info over to a drive that only had 1tb free even if it already had the files it wouldnt allow me to do it. I had to go into each subfolder(music,videos,games) and copy them individually.I just wanted a automated version of this. Just using the installed WD software now on the My cloud to see how it goes. Takes awhile to backup 2TB the first time. Didnt realize my my cloud came with free pro version.
