Thanks Stephen - I appreciate you getting back to me, even if it wasn't the answer I was hoping for! I'm a little confused that you're a moderator (netgear employee?) yet able to be so candid? It's great, but my mystery with this remains why such a company as massive and (in my prior experience), reliable as Netgear can have dropped such a major ball here. Still feel like I'm missing a major point.
Anyway, that's an aside.
So in relation to my original post, backup is fine and I'll just rewrite the scripts with what I'm using at the moment and point it to the NAS. My video / music collection etc I'll figure out something with - it's not that high priority.
BUT it's the sync that's so important for me for my work stuff. A ton of documents - mostly just word / xls / huge numbers of pdf's that I update regularly throughout the day on both devices. So I need sync software sitting in the middle to sort that out for me.
I've had a look around but most of it is for cloud storage.
I'm currently looking at syncback and if anyone has and reasons to/not to or other suggestions I'd love to hear.
Thanks again Stephen.

I was asked to be a mod a while ago, but have never worked for Netgear. The Netgear employees all have that "N" logo marking their posts. I've always called things as I see them (trying to be fair but also honest), and Netgear has never given me grief about it.
The ReadyNAS forums have always been quite open, and that has carried over to the new community forums. I think that's to Netgear's credit (and their policy here has been beneficial to both Netgear and its customers).
