Setting up a 2 drive (non-raid) Synology NAS question

I have 2 3TB drives in my Nas. I am not using Raid or Hybrid Raid.
For users with a similar configuration, could you share how you have your folders/backups set up?

Currently I have my PC back up to my Drive 1/Backup. I also have all my movies and MP3s on Drive 1. Then I setup a backup on the NAS of my Drive 1/Backup to Drive 2/Backup. So Drive 2 is just backup of my Drive 1/Backup folder.

Curious how other users have their systems setup and organized.

While better than no backup at all, it is usually bad practice to backup to a drive on the same PC and especially internal. If you get a power surge that's bad enough to destroy the data on one drive, it will destroy it on the other. PSUs can and will die and take components with them too.

If another network location isn't available, at least get an external HDD with it's own Power Supply and separate it from the NAS with as much distance as possible.
