Syntax error: Destination Files or folders

[Jack Leissring]

I searched for previously answered similar questions, but found none. Kindly excuse this 'new' user's ignorance. As I understand it, if I wish to mirror (for example) all of the folders in my computer's C:\ drive, I choose that drive for my source and then I append to the location of my NAS: C:\. When I do this I obtain the following error
Cannot create directory "\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\C:".

ERROR_INVALID_NAME: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. [CreateDirectory]

The name: MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA can be found in the network section of Windows (7) Explorer and "Public" is an existing (sub)directory on that drive.

I fear I am missing some fundamental fact(s). My goal is to mirror two of my internal drives from my computer Drives C:\ and M:\ to the NAS device.

Any and all help is very much appreciated.

You can not name or create a folder
\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\C:\
as a ":" character is only allowed to directly follow a (real or mapped) drive letter (A through Z) at the very beginning of a full path.

You should however be able to use e.g.
\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\C\ ,
\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\Cdrive\ ,
\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\C-drive\ or
\\MYCLOUDEX2ULTRA\Public\C_drive\
