So I currently have a DS918+ with 4 drives totalling 10TB mainly used as storage; music server photo depositary etc.
I also have a usb drive attached to backup the nas daily.
I've purchased a powered switch and camera which I've yet to set up. I aim to have 2 cameras used for the obvious.
My idea was to get another nas (low powered such as a DS218) from ebay connect the cameras to the 918+ and put the 218 in my roof space as a backup.
The 218 would be used to backup - just in case the 918 fails or gets stolen; I figure a burglar wouldn't be bothered to go into the roof space.
I know this wouldn't prevent data from being lost in the event of a fire. I can't arrange off site storage and don't trust or can't afford cloud storage.
I am a noob when it comes to networking; so keep it simple.
Any thoughts?
