Is this
- in a share on the NAS internal drives?
- on a USB disk connected to the disk?
- in an iSCSI LUN on the LAN?
The System Volume Information folder is on the Ready NAS

Not by default. It's a Windows structure, not used by ReadyNAS (which used linux).
Normally you are access the NAS using file explorer or finder to reach either a share or an iSCSI LUN.
Do you know which? If not, is the person who set up the NAS still available?
You are trying to move the files with Windows, or with the NAS GUI? If with Windows, then Windows is going to stop you from doing that in what I considers a system folder. See if this helps: https://neosmart.net/wiki/how-to-gain-access-to-the-system-volume-information-folder/ .
You can definitely move the files via SSH into the NAS. I'm not sure about using the NAS GUI since it's an invisible folder in Windows.
