Of course, the flip side to this is there are now four places your data can be stolen from :)

Very informative post. I have a friend who works with video and should probably set up a proper NAS, or at least upgrade from "copy everything important to a thumb drive once in a while" so this is helpful.

Thanks for your reply!

It's true security can be a problem for some. Then again I guess the last paragraph can apply to the security of your data as well. It's about how confident you feel.

That's the reason I encrypt the data I'm sending to C2 with AES-256. As for the other backups, I could use a Truecrypt container to be extra safe.

Your friend already has a backup strategy which is simple, it's still better than what I had with my old setup. He just needs to add a bit of redundancy to be extra safe. :)
