Rsync is a good protocol for this, but how to use it for a local disk isn't explained in the manual. So you could read this also: http://readynas.sphardy.com/2011/04/backing-up-via-rsync-to-local-usb-disk_9153.html
Another option is to connect the drive to your mac (reformatting again :smileyfrustrated: ), and doing the backup over ethernet. That is actually faster, but does require the PC to be running.
Hello Stephen - well, finally I was able to fix the OS partition and my NAS seems to be working fine now. I copied over all of my files from my external drive which took days but all is now well.

Can I schedule a backup once a week this way so that it syncs any new files that I've to the ReadyNAS during the week?
Thanks!
