If you can tell us what you have already done (which has so far not worked) then perhaps someone can help or point you in the right direction. Without that info, only people who can read minds over the internet can help.
The general idea is to add a Windows client to NetWorker, and use it to back up the NAS. See KB article here:
i have mapped the share from the NAS device as network drive and then followed the steps from this article but every time i run the workflow i get the error "no such file or directory"
windowsbackupclientname.yourdomain.net:savefs The job has successfully scanned the file system on the host 'windowsbackupclientname.yourdomain.net'. The main save will now be started.

Nope i don't see anything like this in the messages.
I suspect the problem is permissions. It seems the job can not even read the "file system".
My configuration is very much like yours.
A couple of differences:
a) Remote user - in my case, it is a AD user, so it looks like this:
mydomain\backupusername
This user needs to have admin level access to the share (or at least Backup Operator). Not familiar with Synology, but there should be a way to grant this user Administrator or BackupOperator level access
b) Cross mount points enabled
Not sure if this was required (initial setup was quite a while ago, sorry), but it is checked in my case.
