            Files like Desktop/Documents
            And also locked ones like Outlook.

                Are you wanting to backup your PC? Is there a server in this network?

                  No server really, we want to rely to agent/software that will backup to NAS directly and this software should be installed on other Wndows clients as well.

                  I am looking for stuff like Genie9 GenieTimeline.

                      I misread what you wanted to do. I thought you wanted to backup the NAS. If you want to backup Windows machine to a NAS I would use Veeam Endpoint backup. It is free and easy to use.

                        Yeah VeeamEndpoint is the go to solution for these kinds of use cases.

                        Alternatives to it would be UrBackup(and a plethora of others), it does require a bit more to setup than Veeam does though.

                            He's not, he's talking about backing up desktops.

                              I agree with @DustinB3403 & @PenguinWrangler Veeam Endpoint backup is the way to go.

                                Oh. Then the best backup is no backup.

                                  Some times this is not realistic. It's why endpoint solutions exist.

                                    This is not an answer unless you want to provide the details on how no backup is best when users are using a computer that has local storage.

                                          Shouldn't have to. Basic best practice has always been to not store data on a desktop and not to back it up. Simply "don't store data there" is all that there needs to be in an answer.
