How much data are you backing up. And what are your time constraints, how much do you want to invest, and do you desire de-duplication to conserve disk growth.

I am looking for assistance with on-site back-up options (offsite back up is already settled). We are searching for the best way to back-up all crucial data in house, preferably with the piece of hardware stored in our collections space (does anyone know of risks to having an external hard drive or other hardware in the collections space?). We have access to our small office network in our collections space, and I've been investigating something called "Network-attached Storage Hard drives." Basically, we might like an external hard drive that can function like a server, providing access over a network of numerous computers. Our PastPerfect Software could back-up to it daily. Is anyone using an NAS HDD for on-site back-up? And, are you happy with it? Thanks!
