And having a backup strategy in place is crucial. NV+ can fail, and you can lose your data when it fails. Also some form of off-site backup is a good idea - it ensures that you would still have your data even if there was some physical compromise at your office (fire, theft, water damage).

Week A+1 USB drive 2 is connected to the NAS and drive 1 is off-site.
Also - does your NV+ have a UPS? If not, get one.
