1. From the main menu, select Backup > Add a New Backup.
The Add a New Backup screen displays.
2. Select a backup source.
The backup source can be a share or a path located locally on the ReadyNAS, or remotely on another ReadyNAS or a computer. If the source is local, you can select any share on the ReadyNAS or a USB device attached to the ReadyNAS, or you back up the entire data volume.
If you select a share or a USB device on the ReadyNAS, you can leave the path blank to back up the entire share or device or enter a folder path to back up just the content of that folder.
If you want to back up a remote source to the ReadyNAS, enter the remote host name, the folder path, and any login credential required to access that path.
To ensure that you have the right access to the remote backup source, click Test Connection after entering the source parameters.

Hello Brian
I do the steps listed under 2. to backup a remote source, but I get a message "Unable to connect to remote folder: invalid network name or permission denied. Code 7077010012". It will work if I set the source folder on the windows 7 computer as a shared folder, but the folders I want to back up are not to be shared.
Hope you can assist.
Regards, Peter
