Setup Network Folder
--------------------
#. In Synology UI, go to *Control Panel > Shared Folder* and select the folder you want to use.
.. note:: Do not select "Use this shared folder" as folder encryption is not supported at this time
#. Back in Synology UI, go to *Control Panel > File Services > SMB* and click the SMB drop down button if it isn't already selected. Ensure that "Enable SMB service" is checked.
#. Under Advanced Settings on the same dropdown, set "Min SMB protocol" to SMB2 and "Max SMB protocol" to SMB3
#. On the rsync tab, under File Services -> turn on rsync protocol.
#. In the same dropdown, under "Note" will be "PC (Windows Explorer): \". This DeviceAddressName is the "Hostname" within the Embassy New Shared Folder dialog, and note that it is case sensitive and that the \ have been removed.
#. Back in Synonogy UI, click "File Station" and navigate so that you can see the the desired destination folder. Right click the folder, then *Properties > General*. Next to "Location" will be a folder location of the format ///, the / portion (so without the volume label) is the "Path" within the Embassy New Shared Folder dialog.
Connect Embassy
---------------
#. Go to *System > Create Backup*.

* Username - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory
* Password - This is your user (from above) password
