My experience with NASes has been very mixed. Generally speaking, you get
what you pay for. If you buy a Netgear

An HP Microserver costs £200 if you get it when a rebate is running. Add in
four disks and you've got a powerful BackupPC server / NAS. That's what I
use at home as a media store. However, it helps to be comfortable
configuring Linux services at the command line.
If that's daunting, install webmin

BackupPC has been installed on QNAP devices
(http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/How_to_install_the_BackupPC_application),
Whatever you think about the BackupPC- don't forget the power consumption!
I had a dedicated server as drbd device- but as it was powered on 24/7 I
decided to look for a cheater solution. Now I'm using a NAS which holds
the redundant disks.
Ways better from power consumtion...

BackupPC has been installed on QNAP devices (
http://wiki.qnap.com/wiki/How_to_install_the_BackupPC_application), but
there's a very real chance that bi-monthly firmware upgrades will break it.
That and the fact that we're waiting for QNAP to upgrade some packages to
close some security holes mean

I can't imagine a scenario when either of the devices wasn't running.
Everything is monitored via SNMP, so if something goes offline, it's
brought back up quickly.

Yes, no, maybe (hint: it would depend on the NAS...)
Depends on what kind of NAS you're buying. If you're getting something
that's a true linux OS, then yes. If not, then no.
What I do here is run backuppc on a VM, and mount a network drive to the
NAS. Works perfectly.
