Purchasing a server for purely backup would not be the best use of resources, as most servers, even enter-levels one can do much more that backup.

I second the Synology NAS solution. They have one of the most nimble and intuitive web interface, and a solid OS for the NAS systems. Plus the storage options are limitless, and you can configure your setup in a way that suites your needs.

Plus you can do other staff with the Synology if you are small office; DNS, DHCP, Media Server, Downloads, Antivirus.
