ReadyNAS Backup

Desktop 1 <-> NAS 1 <-internet-> NAS 2 <-> Desktop 2 backup scenario
I work at home at weekends and away during the week. I have a fixed location, internet and desktop PCs in both locations. I want to work on the same files in both locations. I also want to keep a complete backup of my files at different addresses. So I bought two RN104 NAS' and I have done some research and think there are two issues and possible solutions: Issue 1 - How to replicate data between two NAS's: a) Use RSYNC backup jobs between the NAS'. Although from what I can see, this will only allow me to do a one-way backup, so I would have to run two jobs to sync back and forwards. b) Use REPLICATE service on the NAS. Although I have tried to set this up and find the online portal very confusing, as it doesn't have the right name for one of my NAS' and doesn't let me choose the destination folder. Neither solution seems to enable a setting like the old Robocopy application use to provide, which is two-way replication...? Issue 2 - How to sync the files from the NAS to the desktop a) Use the ReadyCloud desktop app on each PC to sync the folders and files from each NAS to the desktop b) Use something like OwnCloud to achieve the same sync (and maybe even sync from one NAS and dont worry about Issue 1 - just use the second NAS to backup the OwnCloud master) I am a little lost and looking for some advice... any appreciated. Thanks, JonSolved
