I am looking to get a NAS for family storage / archive purposes. I wanted to confirm whether or not my hopes are already built into any one brand's ecosystem, and whether or not my understanding of these technologies is accurate.
Firstly, I plan to use a NAS because of the redundancy and low risk for data loss. I understand that while a NAS is secure in the event one drive goes out, if a house fire destroys the whole NAS you still lose everything. So my desire is to eventually get 2 NAS systems that can be stored at 2 separate locations and operate synchronously, but until I can obtain a second NAS I'd like to auto-backup my data to AWS Glacier storage. So, is this all relatively easily doable?
Second, and a bit more involved I'd imagine, I'd like to dedicate half the NAS's overall storage to my side of my family, and the other half completely separately to my wife's side of the family.
Finally, Can there be private folders only specific family members can access?
