Hi FramerV and StephenB, I disconnected the ReadyNAS from the network, and the duplication stopped; when I reconnected it, the duplication started again.
It sure sounds like something external.
Options are
(a) do a factory reset, rebuilding the NAS from scratch. Then restore the data from a backup. If it is internal, that should fix it.

You could turn off all sharing protocols for the share (CIFS, NFS, Rsync, AFP, http), and see if the behavior stops. If it does, re-enable one at a time.
You could also change network access to read-only.
Hi orsobubu,
Are you running a back-job or is it just a drag and drop?
Sending in your logs might also help.
How do I send all logs to ReadyNAS Community moderators?
