We've got a NAS. It's a simple dual - 1.5 terabyte NAS that is Raid 1 (mirroring).

The drive is mapped to all the computers in the room, and we have a script that anyone on-site can use to map to it by double clicking.

The NAS is a linksys NAS200. It's a little long in the tooth now, the 100 mbit rather than gigabit connection slows it down pretty badly, and the transfer speed is actually quite a bit below the 100 mbit max.

It has saved us though when someone nuked one of the hard drives. Raid 1 is worth it!

We keep it organized by year and functional group, but that's it.

We don't allow off-site access. It's never really hurt us.

I run that setup at home and have been happy with it.
