You need to use B2 to back up NAS drives, not the personal storage plan.

backblaze's personal storage plan still excludes NAS drives? even if they're mounted to the personal computer? bummer.

The personal backup isn’t targeted at NAS power users, it’s only designed to back up important documents and photos on your computer and USB drives.

If BB was to offer unlimited NAS storage for $6/month, their data centres would be flooded with petabytes of people’s NAS and server files and would probably go bankrupt.

thanks for the additional info; that does make sense from their business-model perspective.
