We are trying to access from the $ share via built-in Administrator account. Initially it connects & pulls out some GB data afterwards results in error as
cannot read file 'file name' permission denied

Are you saying that you want to back up a PC to the NAS using a built-in backup job from the PC's $ share?

Actuallly we are pulling data from Windows 10 Pro machine, which has built-in C$,D$ Drive Shares out of which C$ is getting copied but D$ is resulting an error.

As you likely know, some files/folders are locked down and can't be copied.
If it's not those, then you either need to adjust file permissions and/or sharing permissions on the PC, or change the credentials used on the ReadyNAS.
Or push the data from an account that has access, instead of pulling it.

Trust me, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches going this direction. Using something on the Windows side that uses Windows Shadow Copy is the only way to assure you have a coherent, complete backup.
