I have a box running WHS 2011. It's getting a little old and won't support larger drives in the backups. I'm considering replacing it.
So far, I believe I have these as my requirements.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

So far, I believe I have these as my requirements.
- First and foremost, this solution should be reliable.
- 4 disks
- Primary internal drive to store everything.
- Secondary internal drive to backup the primary drive. Right now I don't think I'll RAID, but I'm not totally against it.
- External drive to backup the the primary internal drive. This drive would be swapped out on occasion and moved offsite. As such, I would like to encrypt the contents of this drive.
- Primary internal drive to store everything.
- I want to be able to recover the data on the disks if the nas fails.
- I've seen a lot of NAS systems use EXT4, which i believe I can read from Ubuntu.
- If I'm recovering the external drive I need to be able to decrypt
- I've seen a lot of NAS systems use EXT4, which i believe I can read from Ubuntu.
- I would prefer to purchase a NAS, but after the discussion below, I don't think i'll be able to find an off the shelf solution that meets my needs. So I'll be looking at building something.
- Nothing fancy, I don't need to do transcoding, running containers, etc.
- I would like to occasionally verify the integrity of the data on the backup drives both internal and external.
- Has to be able to operate without connecting to the internet
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
