Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

I need some kind of network storage/backup solution for home, I don't think using one hard drive as my sole backup is really that safe...

Is it as simple as getting a NAS box then filling it with cheap drives?

Any suggestions? I'm useless at this kind of thing...

I use a service based in the US called Backblaze. A time machine-style auto backup over the net. Initial upload takes an age, but after that it's pretty good. Then you can log in and access your files from anywhere, like a whole computer dropbox.

$50 per year, so cheaper than buying a NAS and drives, but slower. There are probably services in the UK, but these guys were cheap.
