The Resilio Sync package that's provided on a Synology NAS' Packager Center is out of date (2.6.2) and has a bug that causes big files to fail to sync (and that causes a loop of endless retries).
The solution is to manually update the package from 2.6.2 to 2.6.4. Find your NAS architecture and then download (bottom of the page) the right binary and manually install it.
My own simple rsync backup ‘script’.
You’ll need a rsync server, something to backup, and ssh-agent running to ease the process (or, fill in your password each time).
Add the following lines (using a terminal text editor) to a text file (".rsync" for example, hidden files under Unix-like systems), and chmod +x $file.
rsync --archive -uv --exclude-from=/home/you/.rsync_exclude \
--rsh="ssh -p 222" --delete --stats --progress /Users/you/Documents/ \
you@remost.host.com:/home/you/remote-backup-directory
This will upload any files in /Users/you/Documents to /home/you/remote-backup-directory.
