I have a Win 10 desktop and a new DS214play Synology NAS. I have been backing up my desktop with Carbonite for years, but now I would like to set up the same functionality on my NAS (since it is set to glacier backup). The key features I am looking for are:
- No-touch change syncing – like Google Drive/Carbonite/CrashPlan
- Client folder selection – On the client I want to be able specify existing folders, not limited to set folders like Google drive or Dropbox.
- Version tracking – I got bit by CryptoLocker a while back, and while it was able to encrypt my entire local backup drive, and all it's changes synced up to Carbonite, I was able to roll back all those changes. The client needs to be able to write backups to the server, but not overwrite backups on the server (so mapping a drive to a drive letter is right out).
Any thoughts on windows clients (or system settings) that would allow me to do this?

Crashplan seems to suit your requirements. If I got them right:
I'm using Crashplan to back up my laptop to WD NAS. What's needed to set it up:
Another possible alternative: Genie Timeline. I used it for a couple of years, it has all the aforementioned features, but not as flexible (and not free).
