Scott-
Look at Hybrid Backup Sync on your QNAP for automatic backup capability.
I'd look at a combination of local USB drive
as a backup destination, as well as BackBlaze B2 (also via HBS). They're
one of the least expensive cloud storage
providers out there, and they've been excellent for me thus far.
I have a QNAP TS-873 at home, and I really like it. It is an investment,
but it just works, and doesn't require constant
fiddling to keep it working, unlike my 1986 BMW R80RT.
