No, they want NOT copy to the NAS but want to copy FROM NAS to an external 
server, which has a share on the windows machine. They cannot copy directly 
to the external machine, because there is no rsync (dont ask why...).

The windows machine is between the NAS and the backup machine. Here the NAS is 
NOT for the backup but to be backuped.
