Timemachine Back-up in MacOS 26 (Tahoe) does not work on Synology DS920+ NAS

I have configured the Nas als described in the instructions:

How do I back up files from my Mac to NAS using Time Machine?


It seems the SMB Broadcasting does not show the Shared Back-up drive, so I had to activate AFP and SMB both.


Who has the same issue and is there a workaround or solution to get this work?


My MacBook Pro is a M1 16-inch, 2021

It works!

The secret was to open the sparsbundle in disk utilities, where I found a longer name for the spartsbundle, where our Swedish characters were used. Exchange those characters to anything else in the span of a-z, hit return, and try two more TM-backups. The second one flies as the wind! Beautiful! Thanks all!
