fish Network Access Server

Evening, can I have some advice please?

I have only been using Win7 for a few months since getting my new desktop and am not yet fully up to speed with the slightly different way it presents files. And now I have invested in a seagate 1Tb Network Access Server. The network itself is small: generally just the desktop and a couple of laptops.

The reason I decided to go for it was the vision of being able to do the following...
1. Back up important stuff on a separate drive.
2. When the desktop is not on be able to access files (mainly music and other media) from a laptop or stream music to a Pure radio (using UPnP).
3. Maybe access files remotely when away from home across the web, even if the desktop is not on.

The seagate drive comes with free basic backup software but it seems only able to back up from the desktop to the NAS, whereas I think I need them synched to do the above properly.

So can anyone give some tips on how to tackle this? Can anyone recommend some free simple software to do the synch and remote access? Failing free cheap once only subscription!

Thanks in anticipation.
