Timemachine can't find my NAS

PC: new Mac Pro

NAS: DS920+

i bought a new Mac Pro and used the migration assistent to put all my stuff from my iMac Pro to my new Mac. So far so good.

I can see in finder my nas with all my Time Machine backups. But in Time Machine settings, when i try to select a backup disk, it cannot find my nas at all. It only shows me the option for another airport time capsule.

I have really no clue how to add my nas as a backup device, because there is no option in Big Sur to search for one.

How can i select my nas so my new mac can backup my stuff?

Mac Pro, macOS 11.3

Your NAS must support the Time Machine over SMB specification.

It must be sharing the TM share over SMB.
