If anyone has gotten it working with another method, please let me know. TIA. **Please note this is against TOS I do not take responsibility if you get banned.** [Backblaze](https://secure.backblaze.com/r/03fn1q)Personal, as most of you know, is my recommended cloud backup platform. It’s cheap and has unlimited storage. The thing is you cannot use it on storage that isn’t direct connected to the machine. In order to bypass this limitation and backup your NAS you can use the Dokan library which spoofs your machine into believing that the network drive is a direct attached disk. The best way I have found to do this is to create a service using NSSM: Download [NSSM](https://nssm.cc/download) and install it Download [Dokan](https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany) and Install it Create a service using the command nssm install \ Path should be C:\\Program Files\\Dokan\\Dokan Library-2.1.0\\sample\\mirror Arguments should be -r \ \\Data -l V You will need to create a service for each share. After that just add the drive in Backblaze like a standard drive. ## UPdate 6/15/25 For windows you want to do this type of config replace with your own variables Set login to user as opposed to system account ![](https://cdn.synaps.media/pupontech/content/images/wordpress/2024/10/image-1.png) /v “pictures” /r “\\10.0.0.5\\pictures” /l A **Please note this is against TOS I do not take responsibility if you get banned.** This is day 23 of [#100DaysToOffload](https://100daystooffload.com/) *** ## Discussion No replies yet.
