Synology DS115J
Western Digital Red 1TB.

If you want it to back up specific folders that are stored on it. You could connect a USB hard drive and tell it to backup to that.

No drivers needed.

Dual for redundancy, if you can afford it.

Many of the Synology and QNAP can do real time replication to an external USB drive and that USB drive can be NTFS or FAT format which makes recovering data simple should the internal drive(s) fail I highly recommend that approach (even with the use of RAID internally) if you have anything critical to backup and don't want to go crazy on a high end solution.
