How to backup data to external USB HDD

[branp]

I would like to implement a cheap off-site backup for my N5500 by re-using my 2 spare external HDD.

I would like to copy a snapshot of my important data on the NAS into one of the HDD (assuming there is enough space for the snapshot) and keep the harddisk at my parents' house. On a monthly basis, I will copy another snapshot on the 2nd HDD and swap it with the one in my parents' house.

Is there a method (or module) that can automatically copy a snapshot of a specified folder on the N5500 onto the HDD that is plugged to the USB port on a fixed schedule?

As I understand it from Thecuse support, you cannot backup to an external drive plugged into the NAS. I can only backup to a network drive.

UPDATE:
Thecus recently posted a backup module for the N5500 to allow backups to external esata or usb drives. Check out the link to the Thecus download page. I haven't used this module but it looks like what you may need.
