Backup to SSD DRIVE
rsync -ahrv --progress "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/mruckman" "/mnt/USB/USB1_b1/mruckman"
rsync -ahrv --progress "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/joseph"   "/mnt/USB/USB1_b1/joseph"
rsync -ahrv --progress "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/family"   "/mnt/USB/USB1_b1/family"
rsync -ahrv --progress "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public"   "/mnt/USB/USB1_b1/public"

TEST
rsync -ahrv --progress "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Public/Fun Stuff" "/mnt/USB/USB1_b1/Fun Stuff"

NOTE: Using rSync will put "_un" folders on your source root folders

SFTP with MyCloud

It looks like they disabled local FTP access with MyCloud but you can access the server locally with sftp and the master account sshd, and your master password, using File Zilla or other sFTP clients.

WD My Cloud with Ubuntu

smb://192.168.1.18/public

Then XnView can find it here:
Computer/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.1.18

This works much faster locally

While trying to figure this out, installed this, probably not necessary:

$ sudo apt-get install nfs-common
