Do you need a way to push backup data from your backup clients
because you don't want to implement a pull solution for security
reasons?

If not why not use bacula or some other backup tools.

Even a linux laptop as a mobile storage archive sounds like
a better idea. ( Neither CIFS nor NFS on a NAS is build for 
streaming and the laptop is build to survive regular movement)

On a last note - nothing beats a (professional) tape in reliability
and it makes offsite storage really easy.

Don't get me wrong - I love NAS - I just don't think this is the right
tool for your problem.

&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;The company I do work for is looking to setup offsite
&gt; &gt;&gt;storage; I was think about setting up a NAS device to backup
&gt; &gt;&gt;the backup. This will allow the owner to bring the NAS device
&gt; &gt;&gt;in plug it into a ethernet jack and backup the data. When the
&gt; &gt;&gt;backup is complete he will be able to take the NAS device
&gt; &gt;&gt;home or I could set the NAS to backup over the VPN to an
&gt; &gt;&gt;offsite location.
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;Do anybody have any good ideas?
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;How much data are we talking about here?
