Deciding Between Synology & QNAP - Take 2

Synology's not well known backup called "Time Backup", is great. It does file versioning and incremental, on your schedules. Keeps the last n versions of selected folders. No special folders needed. I think QNAP requires dedicated special folders to do somthing similar.

QNAP's "Backup Station" will back up folders on the NAS, but doesn't back up the entire filesystem from what I've found...

I am using both QNAP and Synology both are good to use and easy to setup but I still prefer QNAP because it is easy to create packages with any third party software in it.

Opinion: Integrating as a DIY, 3rd party software into NAS... Way down the list of desired features. High on undesired risky. No matter the vendor.
