Select a backup source or destination on your ReadyNAS system.You have the following 
options:

Share. Each share is listed in the source and destination drop-down lists by name.

Volume. Each volume is listed in the source and destination drop-down lists by name. If 

you are using X-RAID, your ReadyNAS system has only one volume, C. When you 
choose a volume as a backup source, all shares, private home shares, and hidden 
shares in the volume are backed up, each to a separate folder on the destination. 

You cannot choose a volume as a backup destination. Instead, choose a share on the 
volume.
