Remote backup will let you back up your NAS onto another NAS, whether it be on the local network or through
the Internet. Note that the system will not store multiple iterations of the same backup, so a new backup will
replace the existing one.
Compatibility Preconditions
In the case of remote backup, both the source NAS and the destination NAS must be accessible to the Internet.
