Hi I'm currently planning on buying a NAS box, I'd like to first ask some advice please.

I have three drives in my house a 256 Gb SSD (used for ht einstall of Windows and software), a 2 TB internal hard drive used to store music, videos, pictures and a 2 TB external drive used to store the same as the internal drive but attached to a Western Digital Live box.

I want to use a NAS box to backup the files automatically from the internal drive to the external drive, is the best way to put the external drive into the NAS box and then copy everything from the internal one and use the external drive as network storage?

When I do this would I be best to keep the NAS box in my front room near my TV and Western Digital box or near the computer in the bedroom? Is it ok to go onto the network wirelessly or am I better using powerline adapters?

I need to be able to use my PC to access iTunes and sync to my phone using doubletwist (android music player).
