Backing up a NAS drive to NAS destination
I am planning to replace an older Windows desktop with a NAS drive, something like a Synology multi-bay enclosure.On a 4-bay Synology enclosure, each disk will be seen by multiple Windows computers as mapped drives . e.g.(M:), (N:), (O:) & (U).
I will also have another large HDD (attached to the same NAS via USB) and mapped as (K:). My intent is to do a nightly backup of NAS drives M,N,O & U to destination NAS drive K. They will be four sequential tasks, initiated by one of my Win10 desktops on the network.
My question is, will Acronis recognize my source drives and my destination drives over the network? Will Acronis see them as simple mapped drives or does it need special syntax or commands?
I am concerned that the Windows managed Acronis may not function smoothly on a NAS drives managed by another operating system.
I hope somebody can help. Thanks.

Ashraf, I agree with the advice offered by @Steve Smith. I follow the same approach with my Synology NAS.

Steve, thanks for your advice and tips on this subject. Obviously, I have to rethink my game plan now that you have pointed out some limitations and disadvantages of my original approach.
