How are you backing it up?  Is it an option built into the NAS?  If so, they should have a restore option as well.  (Sorry, haven't worked with Synology NAS before).

An alternative I know of that works well: AWS Storage Gateway.

Basically, with that, you can set up on-site NAS, but have it replicate to Amazon S3.  If the on-site system fails, you can bring up a new one (either cloud or on-site), and re-sync fairly easily.

Yes option is built into the NAS. Obviously if the NAS is broken, we cant restore back to it.

Should i get another NAS and have them 2 mirror each other?
