I have a QNAP NAS and used their native QSync OSX app to backup the folder to my server as I realized it was the one type of content I have that was solely on my MacBook and not backed up to my server.

So is there any way to automate backing up the ebooks to my NAS without it breaking Calibre? To be clear, the files are stored on my Macbook's internal drive and QSync was solely syncing them over to the NAS as a backup copy. Is there any way to achieve this type of automation without it breaking Calibre?
Can you set the sync to one way? Otherwise, a task which backs up to your NAS after calibre is closed or pausing sync before opening calibre and restarting sync after closing calibre would work. A two way sync while calibre is open can and does lead to "interesting" effects.
