It probably isn't the Synology but just remember that there are different services which must be enabled for Time Machine vs Finder discoverability.


Often on an OS upgrade, I have to go into the Synology and ensure that the timeshare permissions are enabled for the MacOS account. And sometimes Synology packages are updated and the Time Machine services are not auto re-enabled.

Although restarting the Synology seemed counterintuitive, it yielded surprising results: my mac notified me that it was no longer available for time machine backups. As expected, after the reboot, nothing changed. I can still mount in finder, and it still is not found in time machine. Just in case it was a permissions issue (why they would change, I don't know, but anything is possible), I dragged and dropped a file to the Synology via the finder mount. So, pretty sure it's not at Synology's end.
