    You have to be careful with dynamic IPs but this works well.

      Apart from the dynamic IP issue, this would seem the best option to me.....

      I would go for the Apple TimeCapsule, as this is also a wifi base station and will be silent, fast and for £399 for 1TB...hard to rule out!!!

        Not a good backup solution if your house burns down.

        The other issue for file sharing is that most of us are on much slower uplinks than down. A NAS on your home ADSL is going to limit the speed to ~256Kish, which is pretty poor.
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          If your house burns down, then data is likely to be the least of your worries...
