  "Copy to another home NAS style system" seems to be the general
answer.  You can just use Unison or rsync or ROBOCOPY or whatever.
Some of the NAS boxes expose their OS, which let you install/run such
tools natively, which lets you run sync protocols over the wire, which
can speed things up considerably.

  There's something called rsync-snapshot that lets you keep many
snapshots of a filesystem without needing full copies of everything,
but I think it only works for *nix.
