Hey guys.. I have a DS920+ that I currently use.. However I'm looking to back this up - Do you suggest going to the cloud or having a second nas?
It has pictures on it and files.. including my business graphic design items.

Hi,
Great question! For backing up your DS920+, both cloud backup and a second NAS have their benefits:
Cloud backup offers offsite protection, easy scalability, and peace of mind in case of physical damage or theft. However, it can involve ongoing costs and may be slower depending on your internet speed.
A second NAS on-site or at a different location gives you full control, faster local backups, and no subscription fees. It’s ideal if you want complete privacy and quick restore times. You could even set up automated backups between your two NAS units.
For your photos, files, and business graphics, a hybrid approach often works best—local NAS backup for speed and cloud backup for offsite safety.
