Hello everyone.

I'm making a lab to understand more how to use Proxmox Backup Server. I have a Synology DS1019 and I was trying to backup this files in my PBS installation.

I only have those options so I was trying tp backup with rsync but I couldn't find how to set up PBS as a rsync server. Is there a way to do it or am I very wrong?
 
PBS is not based on rsync, it uses its own protocol for backups.
What would work: Mount the directories of your NAS on a linux server and use proxmox-backup-client on that linux server to backup the mounted nas shares
 
Hey,

no, you can't use rsync to backup to a PBS. If you wanna use PBS you have to use the proxmox-backup-client CLI tool or the integration into PVE. For more information about PBS, how to use it, what it can do and what it is for, consider taking a look at the docs[1].
