Thank you for your answers, guys. My files are large digital photos (NEF and PSD, mainly). The offsite backup strategy is necessary to prevent loss of data in case of fire or burglary in the main office. It is unlikely but not impossible that all local (onsite) backups would then be lost so the offsite copy would be the only way to recover the data. The offsite backup would only grow 1 month old in case the disaster happens on the last day of the month; in average it would be just 1/2 month old so the loss would be fairly limited in my case.
I do have a local USB backup so I will just have to use this USB disk as the alternating off/onsite backup, based on your recommendations. The NAS will remain onsite only - and disks changed only to expand space.
Thanks again.
