# this script will initiate a backup from a source Synology NAS
# 'challenges'
# - there's no blocking means to run a backup task (i.e. a command to start a
#   backup task and not return until it's complete); instead we only have
#   asynchronous actions to start a task and then later check state
# - it takes some period of time to actually start the task, i.e. starting a
#   backup and immediately checking backup state will likely (incorrectly)
#   return "not running"
# - there appears to be no way to actually tell if the backup succeeded or not,
