Readyshare backup

Question

I have used Readyshare Vault to back up to my USB drive in the past, however I see that is no longer supported, I signed up with Readyshare Cloud and can not find where the backup function is. I downloaded the Readyshare NAS and that does nothing for me. Can someone please direct me.

Thank you

Not without some l&nbsp;knowing of what Netgear hardware you own.
&nbsp;
Is this a router or an NAS of some sort?

What do you mean by "backup function"?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Where to find it in the browser graphical user interface?

Router R8000

I have an old WD My Book drive attached to the routers USB.

I signed up with Readyshare Cloud and can not find where the backup function is.

What I am asking, with Vault there was a back up tab, I don't see anything relating to backing up with Ready Cloud. Its says the Netgear will no longer support vault, so I dont want to use it any more.

ReadyCloud and Readyshare Vault are two different things.
&nbsp;
Not sure what more anyone can say beyond suggesting that you look for an alternative backup system. There are plenty of them out there.

That is what is so frustrating, Netgear no longer supports Readyshare Vault but does not offer any suggestions for an alternative. Also, when you when I look at the Readyshare interface, there is a message concerning back up, but it takes you nowhere.&nbsp;these other backup options, do they work with Netgear?

Without knowing what you are trying to achieve, it is&nbsp;impossible to say what "works with Netgear".
&nbsp;
The first question is Netgear what?
&nbsp;
You want to back up what from what to what?
&nbsp;
Your message doesn't say.
&nbsp;
I use several backup services: Synchback, Acronis True Image and Easeus Todo Backup.
&nbsp;
These work with local, network and cloud storage.
