Data Recovery
If an electrical surge took place that disabled the backup hard drive. Would the data be erased or safe on the drive. Would the digital format for reading files be corrupted? Would the data be retrievable? Would it depend on an internet based cloud for a system recovery? Would the drive be able to receive an internet cloud recovery?
First off buy a cheap UPS to prevent this from happening. To answer your question, your data will probably be safe its like pulling the power from a PC, most of the time you computer will not be damaged from this happening. There is the extremely rare occurrence where cutting power can damage the R/W head or disk but this is highly unlikely, you'll be fine. Also there is no "cloud backup" service that comes with this WD NAS, this is your personal cloud, you can always used advanced features to back up this WD NAS to another internet based service to be safe. Still would recommend a UPS though, it's a cheap solution to short term power outages (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apc-back-ups-700va-ups/8062046.p?id=1218863890313&skuId=8062046&st=categoryid$abcat0515043&cp=1&lp=2)
