Leaning on the forum's expertise again

I had the free version of crashplan backing up to an external USB hdd but now I have connected that onto the back of my router (for music serving) I would like to point a backup (full followed by weekly differential ones ideally)at that networked drive.

Not having that drive option visible on crashplan I researched and gather it stops you from doing that.

Can anyone recomend a free backup sw that will do backups (including differentials) to a network drive?

Windows Backup? It's not differential, it's block based, but the net result is similar (ie, it only backs up change data after the full backup).

(I think, been a while)

Robocopy can do something similar too, with a bit of scripting.
