It should not cause an issue using rsync regardless of their OS. This might help as well https://kb.netgear.com/29730/How-do-I-back-up-data-from-a-RAIDiator-4-system-to-a-ReadyNAS-OS-6-system

I would add that rsync over the internet is insecure - you should deploy a site-to-site VPN if you go this route.
A newer backup NAS would let you run rsync over ssh. There was an old third-party app that let you do this on the Duo, but it would hurt performance (and might not be secure any more).
