It's probably a NAS, or network-attached-storage setup, with some sort of
internet interface so you can get to your stuff from outside.
However, unless you're backing it up to a true cloud storage, you're
deluding yourself if you consider that backup. Any serious backup strategy
includes one or two local copies, one local-ish copy stored offsite, plus
one copy kept in cloud storage somewhere where there's a huge data center
maintained and backed up itself 24/7.
