Ready NAS Build in Home Folders Backup

Hi, I am using OS 6 Firmware 6.10.2 and I would like to be able to use the backup functionality to backup individual folders in my home folder to different locations. However, when I try to create a backup job it does not allow me to drill down further into the user home folder to select individual folders within the users folder. Is this possible and if so what do I need to do in order to allow this? Thanks

    What are the backup destinations?  (USB drives on attached to the same NAS, a second NAS, ???)

      xStephenB Its another NAS and I am able to connect to that Nas. I just want to be able to selectively choose the source folder instead of backing up the entire home directory. Thx

        Have you tried running the backup on the destination NAS, and entering the full folder path as the source?
