I'm looking for suggestions on software I can use to back up the Pi5 to
the NAS. I've seen conflicting suggestions on various sites, so thought I
would come to the fount of all knowledge that is Usenet.

Depending on what's being backed up, I use either duplicity or rclone for
online storage.  Both of them will back up to S3-compatible object storage.

At work, we have a Synology RS3621RPxs on which MinIO is running in a Docker
container to provide local object storage.  It holds archived VM data stored
with rclone, among other things.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought a USB drive and formatted it to ext4 and used rsync to back up
the Pi 5.
