backup from one disk to another on the NAS +off-site backup

I have really appreciated all of the information that you have posted on this site – it is very helpful.
I am looking to perhaps set up a NAS environment within my home. I use 3 Windows 10 PC’s (and phasing out Windows 7), various iphones, ipads, and android tablets, as well as apple TV and ROKU. I am looking to consolidate some of my data storage onto a NAS Drive, as well as provide the ability to backup from PC’s (and perhaps other devices). I would like to be able to backup from one disk to another on the NAS, and then to backup onto another drive to take off-site (I don’t like using the cloud for backup purposes).
I am not sure exactly how much data I have to backup and store, but I would appreciate any information that you could provide.

Asustor is unique with this functionality. It will not just allow you to backup from one internal drive to another but also allow your back up to an internal drive which can be removed for off-site storage.

AS6404T is an up to date NAS model with all latest technology built in to last for the years to come.
