Hi folks - I'm new to the forum, and new to owning an iMac, which we just got.
My Computers:
a. My wife and I will be the only users on the iMac.
b. We also have each an iPhone5, and have 1 iPad (might get another).
c. We also have 2 AppleTV boxes.
d. I would like to get another iMac later (for downstairs).
My Desires:
A. We wish to both be able to access, add to, and modify our photos.
B. We wish safe backup for the data.
C. I would also like to access our photos and data remotely, but I do not like the idea of storing stuff on the cloud.
My Questions are:
1. How best to set up the iMac? I believe 2 users is best, correct? If so, how best to access the iPhotos? I've read that we have to have a separate HardDrive to allow us both to access, add to, and modify the photos. Is this correct?
2. We wish safe backup for the data. I've been told to get a RAID device. We bought a G-RAID (supposedly has 2 HDs in it). But this RAID only has a USB connection, so it must be connected to the computer directly.
3. I would also like to access our photos and data remotely, but I do not like the idea of storing stuff on the cloud. I've heard that I should get a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, with cloud access.....so I can connect to my own NAS (which will reside at my home) from anywhere. What is a good NAS to get?
4. How do I combine #2, and #3....now that I have this G-RAID, can I still use it? Or should I only use the NAS?
Many, many thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.
