Backups between Seagate Personal Cloud and other network
storage devices
Backups to and from your Personal Cloud and other Seagate network storage devices require a unique
destination share called server.
Backups to and from your Seagate Personal Cloud and a third-party network device can use an existing
shared folder.
For example, the owner wants to back up shares on Seagate Personal Cloud A to Seagate Personal Cloud B.
Seagate Personal Cloud A is the source network device and Seagate Personal Cloud B is the destination
network device. To receive the backup data from Seagate Personal Cloud A, the destination device,
Seagate Personal Cloud B, must enable its Network Backup server. Refer to the table below for examples of
backups to and from Seagate and third-party network devices.
