No, and newer NAS only have the built-in frontview backup (and readycloud). AFAIK there is no special support for shadow in the NAS - it was just a bundle. So you could just buy a current copy (nticorp is selling it for $19.99 at the moment).
Is it possible that shadow is running as a service (and therefore running under a different account?) You might try going into the windows credential manager and adding a windows credential for the NAS. Perhaps also check the share permissions on whatever share shadow is using, and make sure the credentials you use have write permission to that share.
FWIW, I have a duo, but have always backed with Acronis.

Hi saxguy1,
After NTI Shadow, we had Memeo Premium Backup software bundled with our ReadyNAS devices but it's not free for the unit that you have. If I were you, follow StephenB's suggestion because NTI Shadow is much cheaper compared to others.
Kind regards,
