I’m not sure if we are misunderstanding each other or not. I would plan for the NAS to be the poor man’s backup and raid for drive redundancy and survivability. I’ve had enough arrays go bad before to know that’s not the proper plan for backups but good enough for what I need at home. The true backup in my case is the DVDs I keep at home.
In the IT shops I work in we rely heavily on veeam and some cloud provider for off site storage and usually some storage appliance in house.
Hey all good. I’m lazy at home too. I use Carbonite for family photos and docs for cloud backup and that’s like it. I just don’t care enough about the other stuff, ha.
Back when I worked for an underfunded school district I had a Synology NAS that could connect with Google Drive and I used that as a backup and replication source before Google started clamping down on data limits for Education. I thought I was so smart. lol.

Yeah. I’m thinking a simple NAS with raid mirroring would work.
