Great article, my backup strategy is very similar to yours, except that am using Synology Hyperbackup for the Synology->USB disk backup. I hadn't considered the proprietary aspect of this app, however I believe that if you specify the single-version task, a straight 1:1 copy of the source files is made, in a non-proprietary format.
Yeah to be honest, after using this setup for quite a while now, I'm less concerned about the "proprietary" aspect of Synology C2. I'm fairly confident that I'll be able to retrieve my data in case of emergency. The system has been flawless so far. Fingers crossed! :)
I wasn't aware of Synology S2 until I read your article. I checked a simple text file backed with Hyperbackup (single-version mode), and it wasn't altered in any way.
