As for these programs not supporting a NAS, have you tried just mapping a drive to see if it accepts that?

My NAS doesn't support Bittorrent. I'm pretty sure Carbonite and the others won't support mapped drives. Carbonite even says so on their website.

If you've tried that, there's another pretty simple work around, just create a symbolic link:

I created a directory link (I can't remember now if I used /D or /J) from C:\BackupTarget to my nas \\nas.ip.add.ress\Volume_1\Backups\photon, and then told the app to backup to C:\BackupTarget. You could do the same, just create C:\BackupSource mapped to your NAS root and specify the directories, hopefully the app isn't smart enough to tell it's a symlink instead of a real directory.

I could give that a shot. I don't quite understand what this produces though. It creates a file that I can click on or what exactly?
