Unable to add Synology NAS 'Network Share' for Database Backup

Need to see what is in back of dialog box.

Please show the window in the background.

Woah – your response caused me to go back and try a manual backup once again and – lo and behold – the IP address for the NAS is now listed as a possible backup location, meaning I suppose that the NAS is “already connected.” See screenshot. So putting in the IP address was what did the trick.

Thank you!

Additional question – do I have to create a static IP address for the NAS in order for this to stick? (Something I have no idea how to do.)

Create a new folder like for example DB backup and then select this folder to backup to.

Yes, it worked great! I didn’t have to create a new folder – Roon created its own “RoonBackups” folder in “Music.”

Thank you, everyone, again!

I moved my music library to the internal storage SSD on the NUC ROCK

For a better experience, having your music located locally is better. The NAS can be used to backup your media library.

I think that’s what I’m doing. The music is now on a 2TB SSD installed in the NUC (separate from the M.2 SSD that has the core), which I back up manually to the NAS, which is then automatically backed up to the cloud.
