Backup windows PC via Esata?

Looking at buying a Ready NAS 31600.

I was wondering if I can backup my Windows 7 PC to the Ready NAS via the eSATA port?
This particular PC has ALOT of data and would be physically right next to the netgear so it would be faster than than the network.

Thanks,

Kenny

    No, you can only connect drives to the eSata or USB ports.
