You can see all the home shares if you access \\nasname\c from windows explorer using the admin credentials.
There will be a "home" folder, the home shares are subfolders of it.
As far as the home-pc folder goes:
Try going into frontview, and look at the share listing. First rename the backup share to backup1, and click apply at the bottom right. Then rename it again to backup, and click apply again.
Then select the CIFs icon for backup, and select the advanced tab on the upper right.
Try setting the owner name to "nobody" and the group name to "nogroup". Make sure the three rights underneath are set to "read/write". Make a note of the original settings.
Check the box next to "Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders " and the one next to "Grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner of files.". Then click "apply" on the bottom right.
The "set ownership" box will clear, after a while you should see a pop-up telling you that the operation is finished. If you miss the pop-up you can see the completion message in the log.
If that doesn't give you access to backup\HOME-PC, then try enabling http/https for the share, and enter
https://nasname/shares Then browse into the backup folder, and see if you can access the folder that way.
