I'm trying to set up Time Machine to back up to my Synology NAS. I need it to back up to this folder:
/Shared/BACKUPs/MacBookPro2010

So on my Mac I go to Finder -> Go -> Connect to server

and specify
afp://192.168.1.105/Shared/BACKUPs/MacBookPro2010

I then provide user and password and it connects.

But when I go to time machine and click "Select Backup Disk" it shows "Shared" and if I select it, it starts dumping backup files into the root folder on the NAS.

How do I coax it to put the backup into /Shared/BACKUPs/MacBookPro2010
 
I don't think it's possible. You need to select a drive/volume as the destination, not a folder. Actually, I don't recall CCC and SuperDuper even allowing a user to select a folder as a destination for a drive backup.
