Thanks for the options. I guess I could probably use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this as well but I get a warning I don't understand (attached) so I didn't go ahead with it.

You aren't using any credentials when you are accessing the NAS folder - that will work if you allow anonymous access to the share.
Though it would be better to create a user account on the NAS, and use it's username password.

Thanks. I always have to sign in to my Readycloud account. How would I use a user/pw just for the folder?

I'm not sure why you're using ReadyCloud at all, so that might be worth clarifying. Is it for remote access (when away from home)?
If you are connected with the ReadyCloud app, you could use your existing ReadyCloud user/password. If you aren't always using ReadyCloud then you'd create a new account on the NAS accounts page.
As far as using that credential - if you are using finder, you'd choose the option to connect as a registered user, and then enter your user/password. I'm not a mac owner, so I can't give you much more help than that.
