I've run replication across 2 NAS's but as I say, it's for redundancy of data availability rather than a bombproof backup.
Imagine the following scenarios:
house is broken in to and computer equipment gets stolen
NAS1 will not power on - fully dead hardware.
You accidentally delete an important file and do not notice for 6 months.
Which of these would replication to a second NAS solve?
Additionally, NAS2 is equally likely to fail, giving you a false sense of security about your data integrity.
If you think the internet is a passing fad or have very sensitive data then backup to cold storage, in a fireproof safe, ideally offsite. Otherwise backup to a reliable cloud subscription service. There are lots
