So im really considering doing a NAS type thing, let me explain.

So first build a home network solution that dosent provide internet, but connect my computer with a Ethernet cable and my phone with wifi.

 

Second if the first parts possible, create 2 NAS's one thats in raid0 and one that is raid 5 or 10 (pretty much the most redundant raid there is). Now have the computer send a file to the first NAS and at the end of the day the raid 0 NAS send it to the second NAS.

And it doesnt have to be at the end of the day it can be as soon as it sent to the first NAS or any time frame really.

 

Just to try and sorta clarify this im ask if its possible and what would i use as far as setting the NAS's up in a raid and copying the files between the 2 NAS's.

 

If you dont understand what im saying ill try to re word it and of course im open for any questions.

Im hopeing to get 4 2tb hard drives for 8tb total and around max transfer around 10GB a day and im thinking of keeping movies and videos on there for kids to watch so they dont hog the actual internet so hopefully that gives you a idea

How much would you be transferring to NAS1 on a regular basis before it gets backed up to the slower redundant NAS2? 

Budget?

Have you looked into Unraid? 

 

You set up Unraid so the main share is a parity protected RAID. Depending on how many parity drives you designate (1 or 2) you can suffer a complete loss of an equal amount of drives without losing any data, all while still being able to read the missing data until you can replace the drive... AND you set up SSDs either in RAID 1 (via unraid) or RAID 0 (via a hardware controller) as cache drives. There all new data is written and read from to the cache drives until a scheduled mover is executed and data is moved to the protected share.
