Why a Back-Up?
Synology NAS devices are fantastic appliances. In every test and review they reach top scores. But, these devices are based on regular hardware components, and hardware can fail. A hard-drive can crash, a RAID array can crash, and even a Synology NAS can be stolen, burned or drowned.
So, you need to make a backup. You could do it using an external USB drive, which is better than nothing, but not great. If you really want to have a secure backup solution for your NAS, that is even affordable too, you need to make a remote backup. This way you have a copy of your data stored on a DIFFERENT location. Even in the worst scenario you do have a safe copy of all your data.
