The NAS is pretty simple to setup and would require network backups and accessibility however you could actually do them in NTFS so that you could backup windows machines as well.

Hey everyone,
My home server just had a disk failure a few weeks ago and like a lot of
people I haven't ever really made backups on a regular basis. So I was
looking into backup solutions which will save me from this situation
again.
Now I have Bacula setup, and backing up my files onto my home server.
Although this works great, I have one issue: The disk in my server was
the one that actually failed, and so, even with RAID1, could fail again.
So to get around this I wanted to backup to external media aswell.
I don't really think external hard drives are that great considering
they are just as reliable as internal hard drives which would be
pointless as RAID1 should be reliable enough in that case.
Backing up to DVDs are quite unreliable too, a simple scratch could
render the backup useless. Also it would require quite a lot of DVDs to
backup my data (at least 500GB!).
The only other option I could think of is to use tapes, but this option
can be quite pricy for a home user.
So I was wondering what you guys use for external backups for a home
system containing at least 500GB worth of important data?
Regards
Hamzah
