The one that caught my attention was the SC101 from netgear http://www.netgear.com/Products/Storage/NetworkStorage/SC101.aspx It is affordable and looks like it will do the job, 6-700 DKK for the box, and then 2xHD's on top of that sound to me as a nice and cheap NAS RAID solution :) The other one I have had my eye on is the TeraStation Home Server 1.0TB as i got 1gbit instead of the 100mbit the netgear one offers, it comes with a preconfigured drive solution, so no need to go buy extra harddrives. http://www.buffalo-technology.com/products/product-detail.php?productid=142&categoryid=29 It is 2 widely different products and I really need to find the price on the later before deciding :) Just what I was thinking of ;) I have been looking around and found a NAS box without hd’s that support RAID mirroring.

Also it quarantees that the backup is up-to-date, where as the DVD-RW and the external harddrive solution does not. I must admit however, that I myself uses a mix of the two bad solutions.. not out of want but out of option. Using a RAID 1 system would make it a lot easier than pressing a button.

Yes, people are lazy to configure any software, but pressing that big button is fun from time to time :P Wouldn’t it be cheaper to make backups on DVD-RW from time to time? ;) Otherwise I would just buy an external drive (USB/Firewire) that have a button on it which automatically starts the backup process… Yes, people are lazy to configure any software, but pressing that big button is fun from time to time :P
