> The whole ordeal was largely of my own making

That's not the conclusion the author came to - why is it the one you came to?

I use a Synology with a Mac nearly every day. I don't use it for Time Machine, but that's just because I use different backup strategies, like storing the files directly on the Synology, or copying them over after local editing depending on the type of file. Also, like the author learned, I check my backups periodically to make sure the file is the same on the other side.

You should test it then. If you've never tested you backups, you have none.

I have, and so far we're one out of three.

Mac A seems to restore (at least the last time we tried it) Mac B failed to restore Mac C fails to back up
