Hi lulzkiller,

Thank you for reaching out to us via our forums.
Please note Synology is only supported as an SSH destination, we don't support NAS where only rsync can be used.

This can be configured as an SSH destination if SSH is enabled, but we don't explicitly support rsync-only destinations.

The restriction Synology disallows adding non-root/admin users with SSH access does appear to be an active topic with Synology users according to their forums. There are some community-based workarounds for Synology's SSH restriction, but these would require manual configuration/setup and should be performed at your own risk.

Note: Since we are using some extra Linux-based commands besides rsync, this destination must have a "Real" operation system at the other end (Redhat, Centos, Debian, etc). So a "NAS Backup box" with rsync enabled will not be supported.

For more details: https://docs.jetbackup.com/manual/whm/D ... ation.html

Also, please refer to this KB for more details: https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/t ... SSH_Telnet

It is noted what commands the SSH destination needs to support here: https://docs.jetbackup.com/v5.2-EDGE/ad ... -local-ssh
