Could you script something with robocopy or rsync?

Otherwise, there's tons of software that can back up Windows network shares. On the cheap end, Crashplan can do it.

I know this is an old post (couple months), but CrashPlan does not work with Windows network shares unless you tweak it. CrashPlan will run as the system account, and will only see shares mounted as the system user. That's one reason I came to this thread, the Synology package for CrashPlan is busted again, I don't feel like toying with it even more, and I'm looking for an alternative. If CrashPlan didn't require me to remount my shares on startup I'd be happy to keep using that and just backup my NAS via shared folders but no dice.
