Synology do the DX517 expansion unit that basically extends the storage of your NAS.
It does mean that it's managed by your NAS, so effectively makes any backup another copy managed by the same device.
You can still utilize BackBlaze with Synology - here's a link for how to connect (I think it'll work with what you have already)

Depending on how much stuff you want to backup you could go for something simple like the DS220j or DS420j and then utilize the Synology software to backup the file shares you want on an active / scheduled basis. Thereby having two independent NAS in different rooms. Both could take periodic snapshots based on how much available storage you have.
I'd always recommend "scheduled" instead of "active sync" for backups so you don't accidentally choke your own bandwidth while you're still using it.
Any spare drives - just use a HDD enclosure and backup via USB any critical data that you can then store at someone else's house in case of a major disaster. If you have 2 spare drives just update and then rotate them every time you visit.
