You're looking for a way to automatically back up specific folders on your Mac to your NAS without using Time Machine. There are a few options you can explore:

- Use third-party tools or scripts that allow you to schedule backups of particular directories.
- Consider setting up a cron job or automation script to copy selected folders regularly.
- If your NAS supports cloud sync, you might be able to push data there as well.

Manual transfers are possible but can become time-consuming, so automation would be more efficient.

It doesn't function properly. Could you share your specifications and the operating system you're using?

It's a Buffalo Nano. I'm having trouble connecting it since my Mac uses Wi-Fi, and the Time Machine isn't picking it up.

To simplify the process, you can combine all files and handle them manually.

The script will handle this task. To achieve timemachine you must verify the presence of APF in your NAS. If not, consider using third-party tools such as Carbon Copy Cloner for a graphical interface with rsync.
