Oooh. I've been wrestling with this problem for a while now. Basically I'm working on a tiered system. Files/dirs are categorized by size ( 25GB) , and by sensitivity (public, confidential, secure.

Do you feel comfortable using cloud storage for so much of your content? My ideal is to be entirely self-backed-up. I want a personal git server, photo archive, etc. With bandwidth, service costs, vendor issues (dealing with google seems like a nightmare from reading online). How did you construct your NAS? Is it a single system, or multiple hard drives/storage solutions connected to your network?
Ideally though yes I would have my own entire backup system but I frankly don't trust myself enough to do it right, so hence some redundancy in the cloud.
The NAS I am still designing actually :p
