One of the nice things about the ReadyNas range is that backups can be implemented quite simply and regularly. In round figures a NV+ can have a maximum capacity of 3 GB with a redundant array. A 3TB disc in a USB enclosure could be used to back up the NV+ easily and on a regular basis (Admittedly, this is without versioning). Once the backup is configured, all the user has to do is leave the USB enclosure plugged into the NAS.
Also note of course this does little to protect against the evils of fire/flood/theft/electrical spike/viruses/accidental deletion etc but if any of the above happen, there is little chance of rebuilidng the array anyway. If you are worried about fire/flood there are enclosures from ioSafe to consider.
However, homeowners and very small businesses are not likely to a) buy a backup device or b) implement the backup on a regular basis.
