Time Machine efficiently stores backups of how your NAS was at multiple points in time (hence the name). When you do a full backup then only one point in time has to be stored initially.

You should always have more space on the backup system than on the source for this reason.

You'd probably need to mount the NAS on your Mac and copy the sparsebundle from the Mac end.
