Alternative to Seagate Dashboard.
Hey guys/gals.
I have a customer that picked up a Seagate external 2TB HDD for backups within their office. Problem is I very much want to set it to backup files on networked machines, as well as the one it is hooked up to. Seagate support has confirmed that the Seagate Dashboard software that comes with the drive will not access networked drives (which IMO makes the software worthless).
Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative software for running regular backups without user interaction?

Seems like backtracking a bit and recommending they get just a basic NAS would be a far better idea than depending on one workstation to basically be a host for backups.
Unfortunately this equipment was purchased prior to my being contracted.
