Thanks for the reply. So there is hope. Unfortunately, I don't know what info to supply to create an Rsync task in TOS to connect to this USB share folder. I tried to specify the router IP (192.168.1.2) and the router username/password but when I click test I get a "Connection failed. Connection refused" error. I'm guessing the router (older one running AdvancedTomato) doesn't have an rsync server capability or SMB/NFS. Darnit.

If it's (capable of) running AdvancedTomato v2, it has a built-in NFS server (it's under Administration → NFS Server per the demo interface @ https://advancedtomato.com/demo/status- ... in-nfs.asp), which could be used as a destination for rsync.
