I've been very laboriously populating my melco's library from a 1tb plus iTunes library folder by folder correcting tagging errors and adding missing artwork etc it's taken so much work already (and I'm only up to L) i really need to start backing it up.
Ideally i'd like to set up an automated backup direct from the melco to my Synology nas, does anyone know if this can be done.
I'm Hoping that there might be a straightforward package that can be installed on the Synology that will see shared folders on the network and back them up, any ideas?

Backups are good.

I maintain my master copy on a QNAP from my windows PC. I then use SyncToy to copy anything new or changed to the Melco. If you have a PC and have the Synology and the Melco mapped as network drives, you could setup up a folder on the Synology to be an ECHO of the Melco. So it only copies things that are new or changed. So in your case the Melco is the master.

It is not automatic but I just run it when I've been doing some work on the "master" copy.

I was really looking for a setup and forget solution than avoids the need for the computer at all as copying folders from one server to the other via my mac has given me incredibly slow file transfer speeds so far.
As both servers are on the same gb lan network I just feel there must be a more efficient automated way of achieving this.
