Service
This section of the General screen enables or disables the Recycle service available on your
My Cloud Mirror device.
1. Click the Configure link to display the Recycle Bin Settings.
2. If you want the recycle bin to automatically be cleared after a set number of days, click
the Auto Clear Recycle Bin toggle button to ON.
3. In the File Retention Time box, type the number of days you want files to be retained
before they’re deleted, and click Save.
Important: Once Time Machine begins to back up your files to a selected share,
we recommend that you continue to back up to that share. Switching
shares generates a new backup file which will not contain your
previously saved information.
