I personally prefer one backup job per share, though you can back up the volume if you prefer. The backups are queued, so scheduling them all at the same start time is not a problem.
Either way you wouldn't be backing up snapshots (and despite the manual, back up jobs don't give you a way to specify snaphots).

Hi again.
Started to play with backups ( some spare time ) and face situation when regardles of destination ( Main C drive of computer on my local network ) or external USB drive connected to computer on the network Backup starts , works for few minutes and stops telling:
Backup Status: Fail: destination is read-only or files/folders could not be created. Check if these files or folders meet the destination file system limitation.
Cannot create file '/job_002/Pictures/Thumbs.db' (error: Permission denied)!
Cannot create file '/job_002/Pictures/Zd/2015-10-30 Halloween/DSC_7520.JPG' (error: Input/output error)!
Cannot create file '/job_002/Pictures/Zd/2015-10-30 Halloween/DSC_7521.JPG' (error: Input/output error)!
and so onDo you guys have any idea what is going on?
Bear in mind that approx 4GB of backup , out of 500GB is done correctly

Thanks,
I have read the article , my case is exactly opposite as I am backing up NAS contents to external drive on Windows. Taking this onto account I have done all stuff according to the article but with no success.
