The way I understood it, he wants the computer to be backed up TO the network share, not back up the network share its self. I read it as the data was living on his computer primarily, not the share.
Correct, for this need, I want to back up a selection of files on a C:\ drive, and store it on a network share accessible via SMB. The software must run on the local computer, and must not have any cloud component.
I may script up something basic using Rsync for Windows, and somehow work out a way for it to be stored in an encrypted container on the SMB share. It's mostly to backup some specific files in case the machine tanks, to save time after getting a new machine. The challenge with this path for me is figuring out how to work with Shadow Copy to grab files Windows otherwise holds locks on.
