I currently have two backups for my critical data which is currently about 250gb but will grow to about 1.5TB with most of that being static data that is not changing regularly. The only data that is going to be changing regularly will be:

Unraid USB Backup

6 Docker Container config files

Plex Database

Static Data I am currently in the process of backing up:

Family Videos (800gb)

Family Photos (100gb)

Sensitive Personal Documents (5-20GB)

My current backup setup is to 1) an external 2TB HDD that I can easily grab out of my server room in the event of a disaster 2) 2x Weekly backups to Backblaze b2. But I want to setup an remote backup to my partners parents house with a NAS of some kind that has redundancy as I know that 1x External USB is not a great idea and in the event of needing quick access to this data I want to have it safe and within a 30 minute drive.

So my main question is what would be the most cost effective way to either A) Build a NAS using like an N100 and a small case B) buy an off the shelf synology

I would want to use either Iron Wolf or Exos drives or WD Drives designed for NAS Use.
