Netgear RN104 has 3 connection types, which one are you using, USB 3.0, esata, or LAN port?
Your NAS uses a Btrfs filesystem which is not officially supported by Acronis True Image 2015 although it is a variant of the ZFS filesystem so chances are this is not a problem but you never know.
For your device to show up under NAS devices it would probably need to be connected via LAN port. The USB or esata connections may not show the device as an NAS.
When you say it works OK in Network do you mean that in Windows Network view you can see the device? Can you access shares on the device in this view?
I do not understand your question about mounting the drive unless the device is connected via USB and your view in Windows is showing the device as simply additional attached storage drives which I do not think is the case by what you have said but correct me if I am wrong.
You might find the attached link which is a review of the ReadyNAS OS6 review that discusses many of the features and procedures in using the NAS software. It may hold some clue as to how to get the device to report itself as an NAS instead of an attached drive which in my brief review I think is probably a good part of the problem.

If you still have issue with the device showing as an NAS in True Image the next best suspect is a DNS configuration issue on your network.

I believe this question has been asked before and I believe the answer to be the rather loose usage of the term NAS and what that means across different platforms and even between manufacturers. NAS can mean network attached storage or network attached server depending on platform. There are a number of manufacturers whom use the term universally to mean one or the other as well. Most NAS devices attached to a Windows machine via a LAN port are configured using CIFS/SMBD. So Windows interprets this connection as another computer instead of an NAS device because Windows views this connection as a SAMBA Server (Another Computer). The view you see in Acronis 2015 is what Windows reports as attached to your machine. I believe this is the reason that your NAS does hot show up as an NAS.

In Acronis, only NAS that support NDAS are appearing under NAS Connections. NDAS is not common. NDAS devices don't use the TCP/IP protocal, but the proprietary LPX protocol (which is not routable). Devices that need to access an NDAS device, need the corresponding driver...
Most consumers and soho NASes don't support NDAS.
