Any of you guys here work with home NAS's or similar. What is your current workflow? Wondering what works best with people who work remotely, either backing up work to a cloud service via their NAS/Other or having an external with them and load it onto the backup when they get home.
Thinking about purchasing a Synology for backup solutions (coupled with it pairing to Amazon/Google Drive if possible).

Local backup with 6x2TB HDDs, mirrored running in a self-built NAS with Windows Home Server. 6TB for storage, 6TB for backup, if one or more HDDs fail, no problem just replace it. All there.
I don't do online backup for files but I do sync my office(files), contacts and mails via the Microsoft Outlook/Office365 cloud.
Had a client once that wanted every project burned on CD/DVD to store local. Cheapest and most reliable process, but you would have to renew the CDs around every 5 years..
- oh, I work directly on it and pull/upload the data via internet from where I have to work, but that rarely happensmekk

Time machine + Crash plan.
Time machine has save my ass countless times, where I'm working on something and I fuck up somehow and have to go back a version from a hour or two ago. Priceless.

Sounds good!
I think Synology has something similar to Time machine called - Time Backup. Plus I can remote into the box while working remotely. Unfortunately I don't know how fast it'll be real time scenario.
Might just look into buying an external and backing it up when I'm away. Then letting it upload in th ebackground when I sleep or something.
Anyways, enough of me talking to myself, thanks for the input.
