from a DR standpoint it would make more sense to keep the EMM database on a 
local drive.  It's a pretty lightweight SyBase back-end and locally attached 
drives do fine. Do nightly Catalog backups and send the catalog backup to the 
NAS.

While you say if the NAS goes down you've got bigger problems, I would argue 
that you are compounding them by completely losing your catalog and having to 
rebuild it by importing tapes (depending on the media type anywhere from an 
hour to eight hours PER TAPE)  

You don't want your master server dependent on other systems for the catalog 
and you don't want you catalog backup dependent on your master server.
