Synology DSM 5.0
Does anybody know if ATIH 2015 supports backing up Synology DSM 5.0 shares?

Thanks Pat
I need to explain a little clearer, my question.
I have few PC's. They all run ATIH2010 and backup to a Dlink NAS. I then have Backup PC, which has a Removable HDD. I want to know if AITH2015 will backup a Synology NAS to the removable HDD. Or rather not, will it work, but is it supported?

Ah OK. You want to backup the content of a Synology NAS to a removable HDD. You won't be able to do an image of the Synology disk for sure.
I tried to create a file backup of a couple of files stored on my Synology NAS with my PC as a destination and it didn't work. I was able to select the files for backup, but when I ran the backup it failed, mentioning a disk "E:\" that doesn't exist on my computer. I guessed it failed to connect to the NAS, because no credentials were ever asked during the setup. Weirdly, the backup included some files I didn't select. Total disaster.
I tried then a regular file backup of a couple of files stored on my PC with the Synology NAS as the destination. The backup didn't complete. The software told me it couldn't access the destination. I then opened the destination share with Windows explorer, and reran the backup. This time the backup completed, but it told me that I could only recover fromt hat backup, I had to reconfigure it to create new versions. I "reconfigured" and saved. The backup then ran normally.
From this experience, there are a lot of issues with the file backup and NAS shares :-)
