What are you using to perform your backups?
While Scott did touch on this

So yes, one device will replicate exactly to the other, that's generally what you want in a situation like this. The first device should be the real backup with separation from the original environment so that an infection in the production environment does not threaten the backup device. The original backup device would carry the grandfather - father - son copies of the data. The replication to the second NAS would copy everything, all of the grandfather - father - sons.
I feel it's important that you understand that you want to separate access to the NAS storage from normal users on the systems it's backing up.
I understand this, for server backup, only backup software on Server is having access to NAS Shared folder. And for Server, only me have the access.
No point of users intervention here with Server and Server Backup things.

The amount of storage you need in your backup appliance is totally based upon the backup methods and change rate of your data.
Assume you're doing incremental backups and that your daily changes are 10 GB, your original data is 6TGB, and your NAS is 12 TB, you'll be able to fit approximately 600 days of changes on there.
BUt there might be dedupe components, as well.
No idea about Dedupe components, I don't think I do have in my environment.
