Hey there,
I'm new here too but to answer your question this forum's description reads:

As there is indeed a "built-in" backup manager in the "dashboard", I'm assuming this actually is the Frontview everyone is talking about. And that the Dashboard refers only to the home page of Frontview.
Though I do understand your confusion. It would help if it said "Frontview" in the header rather than just "Netgear REadyNAS".
It feels a little too much like this product is not really catering for those of us who aren't particularly LINUX savy as certainly my own experience so far has not been a smooth one.
