If you are going to operating from the files on the NAS, you may want to use a more descriptive name such as oper rather than backup1. Use the default backup for the remote NAS, then back up your operational files (oper) to the backup share on the remote NAS. That would give you three shares, the default backup and media and oper (or operational if you prefer, I have an old habit of short folder names).
