One additional thought. I have a lacie drive about half the size of the nucleus backing up and attached directly to my mac computer. There is no ethernet connection to it. Do they make drives like that where I can attach it directly to my network via ethernet and not have it near my nucleus? Can you give me a make and model number as an example? What would be better, that kind of drive, or the thumb drive you suggested, or should I do both?
Thanks
