ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!
Hi! Just saw the ReadyNAS Vault announcement : great news! Something I definitely need to really secure my data as my PC backups are, indeed, copied on my ReadyNAS Duo but still in the same locatio...

For ReadyNas Duo the drives are mirrored. Buy one more disk and casing and just rotate one disk off site at regular intervals. When rotating the off-site drive back in again, it will be brought back up to date.
Not really a great idea. RAID drives were never designed for this purpose and although it may work in an emergency, it is more likely to result in lost data for all but the most experienced folks.
