Cleaner way to backup to Synology NAS

[komatsu]

To perform a simple Time Machine backup to a Synology NAS you have setup a new user on DSM and tick a lot of boxes! (see link below)

Is there any cleaner way of doing it? Why can't OS X just see the Synology NAS an an external backup device (like a USB disk)?

Time machine won’t work on a network share without these settings. The Synology is basically setting itself up as a time machine server target.
