Hi

I'll keep this brief.
Bought a new MacBook Air along with a WDMycloud NAS drive for backups and music storage.
I previously used an Iomega Firewire External hard drive which just showed as another drive to select.
Stupidly installed Mojave Public Beta yesterday and now want to go back to High Sierra, but when I boot into recovery it doesn't see the NAS drive-it asks 'Enter the address for a file server used for Time Machine backups'
This is the first time I have tried to restore since buying both.

I really don't know what to type-I have tried afp://wdmycloud.local/timemachinebackups
When I do this it asks for username and password- I put in the same details as if I was accessing the drive from online, but it does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated-I am not the most tech-savvy.

Thanks in advance

Robert
