it's a bit of a weird one but here is the situation we have three lacie network drives the employees put all shared files and anything they don't mind others seeing, i was wondering if i could get a pc to backup the drives, i've googled it and not found anything that confirms that i can do this or if there is any software that i can use to do this.

something like bvckup ?
yeah, thanks that looks like it might work.
You could use another nas to back up the original three if you like. Anything capable of running robocopy or rsync will suffice. Otherwise a desktop will be fine too.
A simple approach is to mount the network attached drives on the pc (using nfs, or samba), and then use any local copying tool you like. I prefer rsnapshot, but there are windows options.
An alternative is to set up an rsync daemon on each nas and pull data from them onto the pc. Or set up an ssh server on the nas drives, and run rsync over that. Your options pretty much depend on the Lacie drives.
