Thank you for this article about backing up a NAS. Can you give more info on which is better between these 2 options ..USB drive or cheap secondary NAS. I have a QNAP
USB drive will be 5 times faster. But the advantage of second NAS (even cheapest one) allow remote backups over the internet. In case of burglary, fire etc.
