Backing up NAS Drives

[Darryl_1983]

I was originally looking at the 2 bay synology options and running 2 2TB drive in a RAID setup. But this only offers a backup if a drive fails. I figured if the drives are damaged in a fire or stolen, etc. It would be best to have a backup elsewhere.

So another possible option is to have 2 single bay units, with a 2TB drive, one at home and another at work say, acting as a back up of the home unit. Is this something that can easily be setup on the Synology units?

I've no experience with NAS or backing up data like this

Really?.... redundancy doesn't make as much sense as back up in my mind.

Thanks for the info, I did think about external hard drives, but i know i'll end up forgetting to do back ups after a while. Really just need something that is simple and if possible even automated.

How are you getting on with the Synology NAS (which unit did you go for)?
