Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I am not familiar with that one, but we run a synology and it's good. It runs as a raid and we have all of the computers on the network mirror and backup to it and then all of that is saved in the cloud. It mostly depends on the size of the drives. With it only being 2 bay you won't be looking at much storage. I would go minimum 4 bay.

Besides your server back up do you not back up to the cloud?

I can get files from the cloud if the main system goes down, but I hope I don't have to. I may buy another raid identical to it and configure it just in case. The cool thing is we use backblaze for backup and I went from $120 a year to about $35 a year since we don't store a ton of data. The standard plan won't allow you to use a NAS since you could backup everything to the NAS and pay one low rate. Instead it ended up working out better to go with their B2(i think that's what it's called) plan that allows a NAS and it ended up being less than half the price.

It’s critical!If you’re going down this path and you have your own fileserver I’d definitely suggest the 3-2-1 backup rule.The 3-2-1 backup rule is an easy-to-remember acronym for a common approach to keeping your data safe in almost any failure scenario. The rule is: keep at least three (3) copies of your data, and store two (2) backup copies on different storage media, with one (1) of them located offsite.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't remember hearing it before, but it's exactly what we have been doing. One of our local backups is in a fireproof safe!in case of fire, it should survive the heat and sprinklers.https://www.amazon.com/SentrySafe-Fire-Safe-Electronic-Connect-x17-13/dp/B00LU1UQG6pierre
