What are my options or advice for transporting a NAS (Synology718+) home from work everyday so my various devices can have an offsite backup? Transport will be short 5min and in theory I don't see a problem with taking it with me when I leave work.
I've recently started in the printing/design industry. My uncle who worked here amongst many other male relatives setup our current Synology NAS for archiving etc. This is a local working device used for accessing old jobs.
I'm wanting to purchase a 718+ to run TimeMachine on multiple Macs as well as on a few PC's... their work folders and printing settings/data NEED to be safe if a fire or any other disaster occurred. Which is why I’m wanting to take this home or better still, walk it to another room and put it in a fireproof safe.
Thanks for your possible input.
Note also that I live in Australia, decent upload speeds are rare and we need to utilize what we have to send emails throughout the departments. (admin, prepress, press, bindery and dispatch) No section of the building can afford to wait, so I think this is my best option.
