NAS (network attached storage) is one of the hard drives on your network. Nowadays, more and more computer users backup their data to NAS. It is becoming a trend for those irrecusable reasons:
Backing up data to NAS is nearly a common job for users. However, what if you forget to backup the changed data to NAS? To avoid this problem, you’d better set up an automatic backup to NAS. Thus, even if you forget to backup after changing the data, it will backup for you automatically.
Auto backup to NAS is an important thing for users. What you should do is to choose a reliable third-party application to help you. AOMEI Backupper Standard is the best NAS backup software. It offers powerful features to backup your important data.
What’s most important is that Windows PC users can use it for free. Here I will introduce how to create automatic backup to NAS freely in Windows 7/8/10/11.

Step 2. The program will select the system partition(s) automatically. Just select Add Share or NAS Devices from the drop-down menu of the second bar.
Step 3. You will move to a window called "Add Share or NAS Devices". Type the IP address of the Synology NAS to add the device and then select a shared folder on it as the destination place to store the backup.
