Can't access shares

Since you only want to offload data, you might consider enabling another file protocol.
For instance, enable FTP and then use FileZilla on the PC to access the files you want.
Then circle back to getting SMB to work if it is still of interest.

You do know the firmware, as RAIDar told you that you are running 5.3.13. That is the most recent (and final) firmware version for your NAS.

Click on the icon immediately to the right of the DNS settings label. See page 68 in the software manual here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS%20ARM-PLATFORM%20(DUO%20V2,%20NV+%20V2)/RAIDiator%205.3%20SW%20Manual_5Sep12.pdf

Your old NAS only supports SMB 1. Microsoft is deprecating SMB 1 (using SMB 3 instead). So go into "turn windows features on and off" in the PC, and see if the SMB 1 client is enabled. If it isn't, then enable it by checking the checkbox, and then reboot the PC.
I can't tell from your post if you are trying to back up the PC in the backup job or not. But if you are, you will either need to also enable the SMB 1 server on the PC, or you will need to switch to a PC-based backup tool - such are Acronis TrueImage (not free) or FreeFileSync (which is free). I suggest switching to a PC backup tool.
