Ignoring the other flags, your command is the same as:
rsync -a /cygdrive/N/ /cygdrive/ //backup-path/
(source) (source) (target)
Which says:
Archive (-a) everything...
...from /cygdrive/N/ (the 'N:' drive)
...and from /cygdrive/ (all of your drives, including 'N:' again)
...to "//SPEICHER/Volume_1/Backup/10-er/D$/" (your NAS).
You must use '/cygdrive/' for each drive listed as a source or target,
but in this case, you're only interested in one drive (the source:
'N:').

Yes. Just don't use the second /cygdrive/.
