Yes
i have tried and it works.
yes it works directly with drag/drop but fails using the task of the Netgear
(a) drag/drop from documents to the NAS share works,
(b) NAS windows backup from \\pcname\documents to that same NAS share fails to copy everything.
The NAS backup job in (b) is using the same PC logon/password as (a)?
Yes,
same user and password. User is administrator in the pc.

This is a puzzle. Do you have another PC? If so, try accessing the share from it, and see if you can do the copy.
My own approach for PC backup is to run the backup job on the PC, and write to the NAS. There are several tools you can use (I happen to use Acronis TrueImage). That might be one practical way to move forward.
