Same issue as with a second NAS really.
I'm thinking here of a box that starts off with 4x2Tb drives in either
RAID-5+hot spare or RAID-6+hot spare, with further disks being added in
later (I tend to have a lot of HD video files from training). So that's
either 2 or 4Tb to have to backup from day one. Which means a 1-2 disk
NAS/external drive to start with, and which would have to be taken off-site
to be secure... well, you get the idea. Awkward and expensive.
