That would be best. Backing up to a 2TB drive in your PC, connected to your PC or to a USB disk directly connected to the ReadyNAS. If directly connected to the ReadyNAS I would suggest

2. Format disk under Volumes > USB Storage to use EXT3
Please do remember that RAID is not a backup. Data stored on a single device is not backed up. RAID provides high-availability/redundancy not backup. If a single disk fails in your X-RAID array data remains intact. If you primarily store important data on the ReadyNAS you should backup that data regularly.

Some like me backup NAS to NAS, but it really does depend on how much data is important to you what you choose to use.
