You are absolutely right StephenB. Thanks for the advice.
The problem was in the PC. Something is wrong with User rights. I have tested the same NAS with different PC and it works perfect. I even have attached my HDD as secondary HDD to other PC and successfully have Backuped the foders I needed to Backup.
Now I have to install from scratch my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit because can't diagnose the user access problems. With new installation there wont be any problems.
