ReadyCLOUD Backup PC Folder
I have tried to look for in-depth information about the setup of the new ReadyCLOUD PC client, and didn't get very far. I have setup a user client and connection to my NAS (RN312, 6.2.0) is OK, but when I go to the 'Backup PC Folder' link on the client machine (Win7) I am met with a selection of potential directories which I can choose from......but I don't want those ones, I want to choose another one....How do I accomplish this?
Cheers,
John

You may create a symbolic link from the folder you want to one of the folders that Netgear forces you to choose from.
Windows command prompt (as administrator)
MKLINK /J C:\Folder C:\Users\User1\Favorites\Folder
The above will create a hard symbolic link and allow 'C:\Folder' to be backed up via the selection of 'Favorites'. It also brings all of Favorites with it, so you could choose a different, unused folder from the Netgear selection.

Re: ReadyCLOUD Backup PC Folder
See, that's what I thought - I was convinced that it was user error (mine, I am blonde .. with an IT degree) .. because SURELY software would not be written in this restrictrive way .. still can't fathom this. We're 9 months on and I can find neither sensible user documentation on how to set up via readycloud client nor useful info on the forums .. which I continue to trawl in desperation.
