My internet connection is terrible so offsite backups are off the cards so I'm not sure what to get. My needs:

- Backup 2x Macs automatically (perhaps via Time Machine?)
- Plex server for home photo and video streaming on TV, phones etc
- Ability to copy files from USB drives (lots of old work)
- If there was some sort of automatic photo/video backup functionality for iOS and Android over wifi that'd be amazing. Currently using Google Photos but uploading is too slow at home.

I've heard good things about synology... Going to probably need something 4 bay for redundancy...
 
I don't confess to know everything, but I'm prepared to learn. I used to run freenas in an n54l which was ok but it didn't run Plex server well and didn't have any way of backing up photos and videos from our phones automatically (that I could see).
