The only case that fails is when you are backing up the entire data volume to a remote destination.
Rsync backups with a remote source work, and rsync backups of a local share to a remote destination also work. And running rsync manually also works - I run scripts on my NAS which rsync the log zip daily, and those scripts run with no problems on 6.10.5.
If you want to pursue this yourself, then go ahead - it'd be helpful to have solid information on exactly what is going wrong.
