My ReadyNAS Story . . .
Day 1... After a month going back and forth between manufacturers, and then finally between the Pro 2, 4, and 6, I order the 6 from Amazon on Tuesday along with two Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA...

gibxxi - you might try using your Acronis to clone your system drive of your PC. I do that, and you have an immediate check as to whether it works or not, simply use the cloned drive to boot your PC. If it works you know you have a good backup. Many times, I will leave the cloned drive in the system and remove the source to place in a cabinet. (BTW, if you run Acronis from the CD rather than install it, it will clone anything, even Linux. It will only install on Windows though.) Since the system drive doesn't change that much, only when you add a program to the PC, you don't need to back it up all that often. I never store data on my system drives, not even on my laptop (it is a 17" with two drives).
All my data is on a ReadyNAS so it can be accessed by any PC in the house. It backs up nightly to a second ReadyNAS. Took me a while to be in a position to have two, but I am glad I did.
