Which other approaches? My plan is to set up the NAS to be used by all the PC's in my house (everything from video, audio, recording studio, homework etc..). Besides RAID for data safety I am also backing up a second copy to a remote NAS (another Synology in this case). This is not a cheap solution and I would be interested in hearing other approaches.
