Readynas Incremental backup

If you backup documents to ReadyNas, what happens if i make changes to one of the backup documents on my PC, does it automatically make updates or i have to manually replace the document?

    How are you backing up to the ReadyNAS?

     

    Also, what ReadyNAS model do you own, and what firmware is it running?

      Model is ReadynaS 104 and firmaware is 6.8.0. I created accounts for each user and created shares for local network. At the moment i am the only one using Readycloudy. so our users just access their shares using readynas ip address and drag any files for backup. hope it helps and thanks for your respond

        There's nothing automatic about that method, so any changes to the PC files would need to be manually copied again.

         

        It'd probably be better if there was a backup program running on the PCs, that used a NAS share as the destination.  I use Acronis TrueImage myself, but there are some free ones (for instance FreeFileSync).
