I bow to the other info presented in this thread. But I can comment a
little on the hardware.
We picked up both a 2 bay and 4 bay QNAP box at work. Both have been
running very reliably and are surprisingly quite. Both are loaded up
with 4TB drives. The 2 bay unit is configured in Raid1, so
Does not RAID with more than 1 drive give a backup? Why do I
need an additional hard drive to back up to?

RAID is not the same thing as a backup. RAID gives redundancy and
availability, but is not a backup. There is an old rule in backup called
3-2-1. Three different copies of your data, on two different media, with
at least 1 copy *physically* existing somewhere else. RAID addresses none
of these.
