I'd suggest not to do snapshots on the NAS (and even less replication) on the time machine share: Time Machine itself already keeps different restore points and manages that itself.
VIEWING REMAINING QUOTA SYNOLOGY NAS TIME MACHINE MAC
give that user quota (about 1.5 times the size of the disk of the mac is good) - otherwise it'll write to the NAS till the NAS fills up. This 6-bay machine comes with a quad-core 2.1GHz CPU, and 4GB of DDR4 non-ECC memory that can be upgraded to 32GB of ECC RAM.

And I had 5 GHz 802.11n, which is twice as fast as what you've got. Before I had 802.11ac, doing a backup over wifi was a real drag on the network. make sure to make a dedicated user per mac for time machine (just for that) Synology just launched its newest prosumer NAS box, the DS1618+. Are you doing the Time Machine backup over AFP Originally, that's all that was supported, but supposedly it can now be done over SMB. In my case, my MacBook Air has a 256GB SSD, and I’ve got 1.79TB of usable backup space (automatically mirrored, of course, onto the DS214’s second internal 2TB drive for extra safety). Generally, Time Machine drives should be 23 times the size of your Mac’s hard drive or SSD.

you need to set a destination folder on the NAS Finally, set up a quota for your Time Machine backups. when setting up the NAS choose Btrfs (not Ext4) as filesystem. Time Machine to a Synology works flawlessly for me (we have more than a handful macs, 2 synology machines, all macs do time machine backups to both synology NAS)
