Most backup discussions seem to focus (not surprisingly) on how to backup to my NAS. I'm covered on that topic.
But I want to know if it is possible to backup the Synology *TO* a networked drive on my PC. I can't seem to figure out how to do this, or if that is an option.
I can see how to backup to a USB drive attached to the USB port of the NAS, but I have a SATA III external drive in a drive enclosure that is attached to my PC via an e-SATA connection that I would like to use to backup files from the NAS. Because it is an e-SATA connection, and my NAS (215j) only has a USB port, I can't connect the two directly. But they are all on the same network so I figured I must be able to go from NAS to external SATA somehow, bit I haven't figured out just how to set that up in DSM.
Anyone?
