## No longer working

As mentioned below, it has stopped working for me as well. If anyone has gotten it working with another method, please let me know. TIA.

[Backblaze ](https://secure.backblaze.com/r/03fn1q?ref=pupontech.com)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?ref=pupontech.com) and install it  
Download [Dokan](https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany?ref=pupontech.com) and Install it  
Create a service using the command nssm install <servicename>  
Path should be C:\\Program Files\\Dokan\\Dokan Library-2.1.0\\sample\\mirror   
Arguments should be -r <IP Address of share> \\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.
