My next project is to build a NAS for backup. I have an HTPC and did consider putting both into one solution but I'd rather have the HTPC separate and dedicated.

The NAS would go under the stairs next to my UDM SE. My ideal solution would be to have a NAS that auto backups selected folders, new content (e.g. photos) from phones, upload selected content to a cloud solution and have some redundancy.

Any recommendations on an OS, aware of the likes of TrueNAS and ZFS but not sure which is best for my needs. And any HDD recommendations (the staircase is next to our bedroom so need it to be fairly quiet)? The last one I bought for my HTPC is quite loud but just realised, I think it's because it's the only 7200RPM drive in that PC.

Think I'm going with the Jonsbo N1 or N2 case. Thank you.
