Cloud-to-Cloud Backup // NAS does not show up as source

    I successfully setup my Synology NAS as registered File System Account.
    I do perform backups "Local to Cloud" with the NAS as destination.

    Now I want to setup a backup plan with "cloud to cloud".
    The existing NAS shall be the source and OneDrive the destination.

    PROBLEM:
    When I start the "Cloud to Cloud" wizard, in the first screen I cannot select the NAS as "source" backup storage. The NAS simply does not show up. Only the OneDrive shows up for selection.

    And I do not want to create a new Storage account, because I want to use the existing NAS.

    Do I overlook something here?
    Kind Regards,
    Andreas

    Cloud to Cloud backups are strictly for transferring files files between 2 cloud storage providers.

    As for your situation, I think it would be better to simply set up a hybrid backup plan. If you're planning to use NAS device as a source you simply need to create another file backup plan and select the files on your NAS device. I presume you're not backing up the same data that was already transferred to NAS by our software, otherwise that would create a mess on cloud side once the files are transferred.
