If you want to use rsync, both devices need to support it (both the windows machine and the NAS).
Rsync does not come with windows, and from your reply I am gathering that you didn't realize that you needed to install it there.
So the next step is that you need to install rsync software on the Windows PC. I don't use rsync for PC backup myself, so I don't have a recommendation. I have seen one rsync package for windows that includes rsync-over-ssh support. But i don't know if that is compatible with the NAS or not. A link to that package is here: http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/windows_rsync.html There might be others, I've never researched it.
