backup from PC data drive to ReadyNAS

I've setup a backup job from a local data drive on my PC to a ReadyNAS folder. It works partially (ie. copies all folders and files to the destination) but throws up the "Error backup job" error and the NAS copies reflect 0kB files. The problem seems to start with the first attempted copy of a file in the recycle bin. "Cannot read $RECYCLE.BIN/S-1-5-21-3114080946-3655224-3349355193-1000/desktop.ini".
Can I exclude the recycle bin from the backup job? The whole point of a recycle bin is not wanting to have a copy of the file.
I've been in touch with support and they suggested I try a third party software. I'd prefer not to, hoping the ReadyNAS software can be made to work for me.

Thanks,

Max
