Backup - sync functionality
Running OS 6.1.2 on the 102 model. I am setting up backup jobs and I want the destination folder on my ReadyNas to replicate what is happening in my source folder (laptop). I might have understood ...

Also, make sure that your ReadyNAS destination folder has rsync enabled.
Another note: Unless DeltaCopy has been updated since the last time I looked at it, it requires full read access to everything you want to backup, it won't copy files with pathnames longer than 255 characters (source or destination), it won't backup/restore Windows ACLs, it won't copy filenames that contain Unicode characters, and it won't copy open or locked files. It might also be unable to copy files larger than 4GB; I don't remember for sure.
If you use DeltaCopy, you should test your backup (or at least examine it carefully) to make sure that those restrictions don't cause problems for your particular situation.
