Hello Tom's Hardware community:
This is my first post so I apologize if I make some sort of error within the community rules. I am helping a woman build a new server for her small business. Here's my question: I can rebuild an old desktop she has and set that up to be the server. But I am under the impression that I could buy a NAS server, which would be cheaper. This server has to be able to be remotely accessed from offices out of the state (it is just one person, and only to back up data). Is this possible with a NAS server or should I just go ahead and rebuild the desktop?
Thanks so much for your help.
