Z-DBackup allows you to backup data stored on a NAS or other network share to a different backup medium like external USB or RDX drives.

Setup:
 

1. Create a new user on your NAS for the backup

You should create a new user on your NAS which is solely used to connect to the NAS to perform backups. Make sure that this user has the necessary rights to access the data you want to backup.
Z-DBackup must be able to establish a network connection on its own and independently of the currently logged-on user on your PC and therefore uses login data for your NAS. A connect to the NAS will be established right before the backup and disconnected right after.

 The passwords for use with Z-DBackup can contain a maximum of 32 characters.

Allowed characters are: 0-9, a-z, A-Z and the symbols _ ! % / & ( ) ? . - ; + : @ * # [ ] { } € § | ~ = $ " (no spaces). Please keep that in mind when creating the backup user account on your network computer.

2. Create a new Backup Set

Create a new Backup Set with the desired backup medium as target.

2.1 Source: Network drive
 

Click on Network drive in the source file picker window. Tab Source -> Create / edit item -> Network drive

2.2 Choose your NAS

Open the Network explorer and select the NAS or manually enter the UNC path of the network share.

Enter username and password of the newly created user on your NAS.

Example:
A directory called share is a shared resource on a NAS. A user account named Backup-User was created on the NAS and has the appropriate user permissions.
Choose the folder share on your NAS in the network browser. Enter username and password for Backup-User.

2.3 Select folders
Click OK and select the subfolders in your network share that you want to backup.
 

3. Choose a target
Choose a target and additional backup option like you would with any other Backup Set.
 

Your NAS backup is ready to be executed.
