.. note:: This guide was created by a Start9 community member. This is not yet officially supported. Please report any feedback that may help improve the process.
The following will guide you through the prerequisite configuration to backup to a Synology NAS device.
#. Go to the Synology UI > Control Panel > Shared Folder > select the folder you want to use > Permissions tab > make sure that you have read/write permissions for the user you're going to be logging in as > Save
#. Then go to the Synology UI > Control Panel > File Services > SMB Tab > Click the SMB drop down button if it isn't already selected > Ensure that "Enable SMB service" is checked.
.. note:: Under Advanced Settings on the same dropdown, "Min SMB protocol" was set to SMB2 and "Max SMB protocol set to SMB3" - this may or may not be necessary
#. On 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.
#. Go to Synology UI > File Station > navigate so that you can see the the desired destination folder > right click on it > Properties > General Tab, next to Location: will be an folder location of the format ///, the / portion (so without the volume label) is the "Path" within the Embassy New Shared Folder dialog.
#. Fill in the Username and Password appropriately for the previously checked user.
