ACCESS_DENIED error in rSynch backup job going against Windows share?

It looks like the windows drive is shared - the problem is that some information on the drive is protected (system volume information and the recycling bin).
The simplest solution is to share a folder on the drive, not the full drive.
You could also try logging into the PC with the same credentials the NAS is using, and make sure that the file explorer settings are set to hide "hidden" files and system files.
FWIW, I use Acronis running on the PC for this (still backing up to the NAS). That gives me more options on what is backed up and versioning. Also, PC backup tools can boot the PC if that is needed.
