I've never touched a DAS box but my limited understanding is that it's an
external box that interfaces to your computer. In your case that might
attached to your backup machine, or is Rich or someone can point
you toward an appropriate RP4 or some other single board computer
it could attach to that. The problem will be the interface. In big rack
mount servers these interfaces are often some high end version
of PCI Express with Multi-gigabyte/second interfaces. You're just
not likely to find something like that on an RP4.
If you really wanted to tinker you can always find used rack mount
servers being retired from cloud hosting services on Ebay. They
generally come with fast Ethernet interfaces and more than
enough compute power but likely not as much disk space as
you seem to want. (There's lots of used Synology boxes there
also...)
I still think that an 8TB USB drive from Amazon for around $100
would meet your needs. Off load the stuff you don't need to
access from backups immediately, through the drive in your
fire safe and you suddenly have 8TB free on your
backup machine. It's slow, but it's easy and requires no new
computers and hence to mental bandwidth.
Good luck.
