I use a VPN to perform remote backups. Since the backup drive is at my brother's house, and I don't want to put all of his hoouse on a VPN with mine, I use ZeroTier, which is loaded to each NAS. The ReadyNAS app available on GitHub is old, but still works; or you can install it via SSH and instructions on the ZeroTier site, If you have the ability to set up the remote location on a VPN, then there are other solutions that work.
Rsync over SSH is yet another option. I don't use it myself, so can't give any hints, but here is a link to a Netgear KB article on the subject: https://kb.netgear.com/29929/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-SSH
I've never tried to use a VPN. With Zero Tier do you basically make the remote NAS and your local NAS appear to be on the same local network? You mentioned an old ReadyNAS app. Is that also needed along with Zero Tier?
