While the pricetag may not be as "kind" as a opensource NAS device. I think WHS (Windows Home Server) devices to be top notch. Especially for those of us who don't care much for geeking it out. I geek it out enough all day at work when I come home I just want my stuff backed up!. WHS does just that.
I have 6 computers at home backed up seamlessly. 5 wireless and 1 wired. One of the wireless is a 802.11B. The nice thing about WHS is that you backup only delta blocks, and you can easily access a point in time for your computer without having to do much setup.
On top of this you have the storage aspect where you can store files, choose redundancy for those files as you wish. Files you don't care about can use up less space if you don't want redundancy while others you can store on more than one disk to ensure you don't loose them.
That and I can access all my files on the road without any troubles.
Acer Easystore is a quick solution with WHS included and hot swappable drives.
