  • If we went NAS, I feel like maybe we could get away without the redundancy? Risky…

    That’s the thing, you could, but it wouldn’t be best practice. At the end of the day the 3-2-1 rule applies to any data.

    I know it’s a hard pill to swallow, but ideally you’d need both a NAS (I’d go with Proxmox on a PC) and the tape backup for that NAS to ensure the safety of the data.

    However. Backblaze may take the spot of the tapes - unsure if the NAS as well. Have a look at their offer and see what fits your budget. I would personally go with the NAS on site and backup it daily to Backblaze. Note that Backblaze B2 says something like 6$/TB/month which amounts to about 21600$/year which stings but then again it’s safe and it’s the best value (all the competition seems to be more expensive).
