Depends what you mean by Infection, the main thing you want to protect yourself against is Ransomware vulnerabilities which is the biggest issue i see with Synology/QNAP/DROBO etc… I make good $ with clients that get infected. My recommendation… get yourself a NAS such as a Synology, and backup to the cloud, there are many cloud providers which support NAS backups, Synology has their own service and its very affordable. Onedrive is also a very good alternative as you mentioned, however the limitation is 1TB, remember the “infection” will not be transferred to Onedrive, assuming you’re concerned about viruses, just get yourself a good AV such as Sophos or Bitdefender and update your OS every month. From what i read, you’re safer backing up to a proper cloud provider than storing another NAS at your parent’s house… a cloud backup can be encrypted so that no one can access those files… Encryption + MFA and you’re relatively safe.
if anyone puts Peter Mckinnon in here, i will loose my shit!
