I am not familiar with the device in question, so I am risking to fall
face down into the mud. But if it is intended to be used as a NAS
server, aren't you supposed to mount the target directory at a client
system and rsync between the two local directories?

Does the documentation say it supports the rsync protocol from a
remote host? It is obviously possible that it does, but given that it
does not support ssh... Come to think of it, if the remote path
contains a single colon as in your example, ssh is used. have you
tried  using the double colon to indicate that the raw rsync protocol
should be used?

rsync ... src/ ip::backup/

etc?
