I'm doing the same thing here - have a DS1010+ and an old laptop running 
Proxmox for my workloads. With 24 GB of RAM and 4 cores, it handles the BBS, 
a couple of LXC containers (which Proxmox supports directly) and an Ubuntu 
guest running Docker containers.

There's an NFS mount on the Synology and I use the built-in backup in 
Proxmox to back up VMs to it. I haven't played with their backup server yet.

If the original poster doesn't have a NAS yet, there are ways to get backups 
off of the Proxmox server - lots of routers support external storage and can 
make SMB file shares. I'm pretty sure Proxmox can back up to those.
