How to backup your Synology NAS

Work in progress

I'm not crazy about using the built in Synology backup because it uses a propriatary format when it stores the data. Here is what I'm looking for:

  1. Cheapest backup possible
  2. 1 Remote backup and 1 local backup
  3. SHR-2 (RAID6) so I hopefully never have to use my backups in the first place.
  4. Local backup should be able to expand, automatically fix data rot, and if a hard drive fails, the power supply goes out, the mother board dies, etc, I can easily grab any of the hard drives, plug them in, and be able to access the files on that drive.
