Cloudbox 2TB - NAS LACIE - Free user manual and instructions

To back up your computer to the LACIE Cloudbox 2TB via rsync, you first need to set up SSH access on your NAS, then use rsync from the command line on your computer.

Main Steps:

• Check network connectivity: ensure that your Cloudbox 2TB and your computer are on the same local network (or accessible via the network).
• Enable SSH: log in to the web interface of the Cloudbox (usually via http://cloudbox.local or its IP address), then enable SSH in the network/security settings.
• Note the credentials: you will need the username (usually "admin" or your created user), the password, and the IP address or hostname of the Cloudbox.
• Use rsync: on your computer (Mac, Linux, or Windows with WSL), run a command like:
  rsync -avz --delete /path/to/folder/ user@cloudbox_ip_address:/destination/path/
  Replace "/path/to/folder/" with the folder to back up, "user" with your username, "cloudbox_ip_address" with the NAS's IP, and "/destination/path/" with the destination path on the Cloudbox.

To automate regular backups, you can add this rsync command to a scheduled task (cron on Linux/Mac, Task Scheduler on Windows).
