Backing up a flash drive

So with my shitty luck it probably would be a wise idea to back up my flash drive since it has important school documents and my music on it.

Basically what I am looking for is a program that every time I plug in my flash drive, it will essentially drag-and-drop everything off of it into the backup destination of my choice (ex. point it to transfer to my NAS drive)

What NAS do you have? Or is it one of those harddrives attached to a router kind of a setup?
It's a hard drive attached to my router, it's a ReadyNAS, but I have it configured so that it shows up as an actual network drive with a drive letter in Explorer.

So essentially, how can I automatically back-up my flash drive to another drive letter of my choice when I plug it in (ex. every time I plug in the drive it copies all the files to drive Z: which is my NAS?)

This software looks promising and it may ID your NAS drive. http://www.todo-backup.com/backup-resource/automatically-backup-usb-drive-when-plugged-in.html

Make sure your router firmware is always updated. Check the manufacture website often for updates. I can't tell you how many infected home routers try to connect to my website. And they wonder why their Internet speed is shit.

Because the request is doing things they should not be doing so the WAF blocks it. When I look up the IP address it comes from a normal ISP. In fact, at my WordPress site I had a botnet using scores of standard ISP addresses try to access the Admin page constantly and all were served a 403. You would think after the first one hundred 403's the botnet would stop. Persistent little bastard.
