Here's a guide onusing the ReadyCloud Client sync feature
Please note though that this will create a new Share folder on the NAS. So transferring it to the original NAS Share for your music will need to be done manually.
Another option is to manually transfer it to the folder but I also agree it would be good to automatically sync any changes on your source.

The link you showed looks pretty straight forward. But I don't understand your caution about having to the transfer manually. Doesn't it say that once I request the backup it will create the folder on the NAS and transfer the data (music in my case) to the NAS? Before I do this I will probably delete my existing NAS Music folder.

Oh, I was just saying that once you synced your resource folder, the App will create a new share on the NAS, so if you intend to use your current Share for Music then you will have to transfer it manually.

I think all of you convinced me to use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer my Music (& Photos) to the NAS (setting up a weekly schedule to update files). I got the NAS to be able to have my Music library with me remotely (I use Plex app thru ReadyCLOUD to do this). Is my thinking a good solution?

I used my NAS server user/pw even tho this is a home computer. Better to delete Music folder on NAS before I Clone it from CCC?
