Remote backup onto NAS - connection issues

ReadyNAS Remote is an option I guess. I stopped using it a long time ago due to inadequate performance, though it may perform better now. One benefit is that would be no firewall issues, and you could the run backup jobs from either the PC or the NAS. You could also look into setting up a VPN between your home and the office. This would give you secure access to the full office network from home (and vice versa). Small business routers often have that feature. Are you just wanting an inexpensive disaster recovery? Or are you wanting to make your office files available for use at home?

Ideally what we are trying to do with our NAS is to store office files we use on a consistent basis in a central location that we can access from home, work, and while on the road.

In regards to the backup, there are some files that are part of our sales system that must be on site at the office, which already has back up procedures in place. Reason I want an extra back up to the NAS is because I want an off site back up of a few key files just in case we lose everything in the office (the most unlikely case).
