My cheap NAS device has failed me, and having decided to go for the redundancy option of RAID when I bought it I had to have a power supply problem (which has destroyed both hard-drives in the array).
Bearing in mind I'm going to be skint after paying the experts to extract my data for me (~£500) I want to replace it with a device that will backup to the cloud automatically and be reasonably good value for money.
My broadband speed is:
So, having worked out that it's going to take a month to upload all our data (~130GB) I don't want to have to leave my laptop on waiting for it to finish an upload, additionally I'll want incremental backups so that only the changes are uploaded.
Does anybody have any recommendations? Is having RAID redundancy a good thing (ie was I unlucky) or should I just go for a single drive device?
I was thinking about an Iomega Storcenter, due to their teaming up with Mozy. The problem is, I can't work out whether this would be automatic or not. It looks like I'd need a server licence which would set me back about £40/month.
The data is things like our music collection and all our photos, we obviously don't want to lose them (hence spending a small fortune on recovering them!)
Any assistance much appreciated!
