This is quite good explanation of a Network Storage Attachment or Network Attached Storage Device.
One thing, you need at least more than one back-up drive and one of the located off-site.
One back-ups, can be lost from a fire, thief, or hard drive failure. The latter I can attest to. 270+ gig. It cost a lot of money to get the files back. Otherwise, warranty replacement would be enough.
Trust me on that. If you don't have your data backed up more than once, you do have anything backed up.
This information is the only thing missing with this video podcast. Otherwise, quite good.
