Q.1 - Will I be able to backup data using rsync to the NAS drive? If yes, then how should I configure my NAS device to receive backups? Backups will be incremental and everyday using a cron task. NAS Device : D-Link DNS 323 NAS.
Q.2 - Is there an open source tool to achieve the same task that'll do the job instead of using rsync?
Any suggestions would certainly help.Thanks

I do something similar for my linux systems except they mount the nfs share from my freenas. You could easily modify this and move the date function a head of the system name so you grouped all backups by date at the higher level instead of system name
I do system level because freenas allows me to export the same share as both nfs and cifs so windows backups up directly to freenas
example script from my system f820
Code:
"rsync -avz --exclude "/storage/" --exclude "/mnt/" --exclude "/proc/" --exclude "/sys/" --progress / /storage/backups/f820/system/`date +%d%m%y`"
