Known Issue:

For those who have WD My Cloud drives that are running on firmware version 03.00.03413 and have run an Apple Time Machine® backup to the drive already, please refer to
the KBA article as noted below. If you have already updated your device (with the
TimeMachine backup saved on the drive) to this firmware 03.01.03-127, you will
experience the Time Machine backup running on your MAC OS X computer will not be
able to detect the original backup file. This is because the Time Machine backup file was
relocated to the root level share of where you saved the original backup file. The Time
Machine backup in MAC OS X will not recognize that the backup is no longer at its
original location. The Time Machine backup in MAC OS X will need to be re-selected
through the Time Machine preferences to re-establish connection to your original backup.
