New to NAS - RAID / UPS questions

#2
Yes. DS220+ would be a very good choice. It comes with a graphics chip built in. This allows you to access your videos and surveillance footage remotely. Not just at home.
Synology comes with great mobile apps that will simplify your phone backups. This will also allow you to organise your home media in a very user-friendly way such as GEO, AI etc.

Synology will come with data scrubbing function built in. This will regularly check your hard drives bit by bit. If something is wrong it will be alerted or fixed.
Some people prefer RAID6 with two drive parity. Thinking this ensure there is no bitrot. Some other people go for ZFS files system. I thin data scrubbing is enough.
Either way, there are other disasters you need to be prepared for. Flood, fire, theft.

When you use UPS, you need to make sure they have USB port. This will allow your NAS to timely initiate shut down procedure. Other UPS would not help much since they would run out juice and kill the NAS.

I hope this helps . https://nascompares.com/cheapest-ups-for...-qnap-nas/
