I believe my requirements are not overly difficult and after reading the forum a little and perusing the guides I would like to make sure I'm going down the correct path so any help or direction is appreciated.
I currently have two iphones, two laptops (a mac book and a chromebook), two apple tvs, an airport express and a sony bluray player. All of my wife's and my photos and music are on the mac book, the music is in separate itunes accounts(?) on the mac book. We have relatively little data, 120 gb music and movies, mostly music, and 300 gb pictures and home videos of our kids and the odd document. What I would like to achieve with the NAS is in order of importance, 1) automated back up of media and documents, 2) ability to access media, music is the main priority, from anywhere on the home network, 3) put all of the media into one itunes account and have our phones sync with itunes to the NAS if that makes sense, and 4) plug a usb hdd into the NAS for offsite backup. I realize I am a very ignorant about these matters, any advice is greatly appreciated.
