I also experimented with Arq, using a pre-flight script to mount the Synology shares (there is a blog post on that explains how to do this and provides the AppleScript code), and I found this also worked. I was also able to use their HyperBackup Explorer utility on a Mac with my B2 store mounted via services like CloudMounter to browse the files, so my testing suggested that if the Synology died and I chose not to replace it I could still retrieve the files. I tried encrypting backups and had some bad experiences with being unable to access the encrypted backups (and I know I had the correct password stored in 1Password, and I tried several restarts with the same issues) but eventually I did seem to get it to work. I found the versioning worked although the interface was a bit kludgy. That may well be sufficient for your needs, however. For example, although it is claimed that you can set up backups on, for example, an hourly basis, I was never able to get it to work on anything other than a daily basis. When I had a Synology, I played quite a bit with HyperBackup.
