You wouldn't need a server to get the stuff online. On Windows you would map an FTP location. You can then either: | |

So to get the stuff online automatically im really going to need a little server rather than a regular NAS then. | |

Another good option would be to get a couple of external hard drives and store at a seperate location instead. | |

If you have a NAS with a suitable RAID array then you've got multiple backups because your data will be stored on more than one hard disk, protecting you from a disk failure. There are services that will give you online storage via FTP, you can use the built in features of Windows or OSX to create scheduled backups to whatever you choose to use. Another option would be to get yourself a VPS which you can use to host your website on and store your data on. I wouldn't be too keen on using a normal web hosting package for this... | |

I want to back them up online as well as leaving a copy on the NAS - double redundancy sort of thing. Being able to access them from elsewhere would be handy but not needed. I only say dropbox as I already have an account them them. | |

Are you saying you want to just backup your files or are trying to access to them over the internet? | |

Had a quick look at drop box and anything in the "My Dropbox" folder gets synced. | |

Rather than using a NAS box, have you thought about a Windows Server or Ubuntu server running RAID 5 or RAID 10 depending on your budget. That way you have more control over online backups. | |

If dropbox can be mounted as a virtual drive or whatever it's called (i.e. give it a drive letter) then you can use the command above but change the drive paths obviously. | |

But that means manually choosing what I want copying right? | |

Best thing is a client push, from the computer. | |

In my new place I'm going to be setting up a small product photo studio and want to make sure all my photography is automatically backed up online. |
