It occurs to me you might set up syncthing on the Mac, the NAS box and the Linux box, and leave the worrying to it. I have a laptop, a desktop and a server, all Debian Buster, all running syncthing between them, and it works quite well. I do have a Mac, mostly for backing up my iPhone. I back the Mac up to a netatalk installation on the server using Apple's Time Machine. It was easy to set up. And consider using Time Machine to back up to a USB drive as well; it will do multiple backup locations.
