In the morning it's powered down once again. It powers up a couple times a week late at night, so my main NAS can rsync to it. My main NAS is a expensive commerial type NAS, but my other NAS is a much cheaper, low cost HOME NAS. The only practical way to backup a NAS is with another NAS. I'm going to have to upgrade my HDD to larger ones. It's saved me a number of times over the years. It doesn't get compressed, or screwed around with.

Since all my phones on my iPhone and iPad get transferred to my Windows computer automatically using Apple's iCloud app on my computer, that picture directory gets auto backed up to Carbonite. I also use Carbonite on my Windows computer to backup specific directory's. So send your pictures a few different places offsite. If you use Apple's Storage, it'll be automatic.

These solutions require the app running so that it'll backup your pictures. If you're a Prime Member, you can send your pictures to Amazon using their photo App. Google is free, but they do lower the resolution some. If all your pictures are at your house, and you get robbed and they take them, or worse, your house burns down to the ground, or you have a flood, or a some other natural disaster, you want your pictures at a number of sources. This is yet another reason why keeping yourself in the CLOUD is a bad idea!!! You can as one of your backup solutions.
