I'm new here 
I'm not very technical but a couple of years ago I managed to bluff my way through setting up two microservers as NAS file servers running Open Media Vault. I recently acquired two more N36L boxes (£20 for two! I'm told they work! 
Although both the established boxes are running great using RAID 5, I'm still a bit antsy about the fragility of this setup... I's like to back both boxes up to one large one and then back that one up to the cloud using Backblaze. The issue is that Backblaze's basic service won't back up a NAS, only a directly attached drive. (Correct me if I'm wrong...)
Is there any way these boxes can be directly connected to my Mac? Will the eSATA port do it? The cable seems to be hard to come by and pretty expensive. I guess a USB connection is out of the question...?
Any clever ideas for me to try?
