What you should know (shhhhh) is that there are no real c++ questions, it's just CPallini, Madson and MacCutchan posting undercover questions and then answering each-other's.
I should say that they are doing a fine job though.

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, "13...13....13...13."
The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks and looked through to see what was going on.
Some b@stard poked me in the eye with a stick.
Then they all started shouting. "14...14...14...14...".

Hey, at least the subject line warned us that it was an old gag.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Well, it's not as if we have an abundance of fun things to do in here, Dave. Stop by again and we'll try for the other eye!

I'm planning to start working from home for less than a year, only a plan by now; I would like to study (prior taking any decision) what should I need there to work safely.
I know I'll need a UPS system, but I'm more worried about the version control system and the backups. Being at home I won't be able to use the tape system in my company neither I'll be able to use subversion.
What would you recommend me?
My work environment will be Visual Studio 2012... would a NAS be a good solution? in case it would, how would you interface it through a version control system and which one would you use? raid? of course the solution should not be expensive, I'm planning to work at home and send the job to the company each week (when I'll be there physically).
What would you recommend me?
Thank you in advance!

Best answer is to use your company's source control remotely, then you'll get all their backup technology for free. However you suggest that's not possible.
Set up a SVN server locally (either on the dev machine or, better, on another machine on your network). That will cover you for the 99.9% case of either nothing going wrong, or something going wrong with 1 out of 2 hard disks.
To get an off site backup, leaving a copy of your repository with your company once a week (could just be a USB stick with it on left in your desk) should be sufficient. You could arrange an automated backup-swap with a friend though (you back up their files, they yours) through SFTP.

Yes, that remote access would be the best (and in order to do that I would need only to set up a VPN to our server) but our internet connection is so slow that I would probably be faster sending trained pigeons to our company...
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fail ratio due to hunters and predators is too high for me...
Anyway, being in the automation market I could create a robot that would free automatically a new pigeon after the first one has died...
And this is how my world control started!!!! MUHAHWHAHAHAHA!

That's certainly one version of SkyNet I'd not considered.

First, there were the carrier pigeons, soon after would come the warrior pigeons...
There were many that thought the idea would never get off the ground.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I'd use cloudForge.com (nothing in the recommendation for me- I'm just a happy user)
They do free hosting if your a lonely single user.
Assuming your internet is reasonably reliable and not stupidly slow (and you're not making huge file changes every day) it's a winner.
Locally I would just have a backup to some device you can take off site just in case - even if that is just a USB you can leave at a friends house every week, or even leave at the company you're going to each week.
worst case (you lose your home PC completely and couldForge aren't available) you have a week old backup.

If you are looking for cheap, secure off site backups then take several memory sticks and backup the system on Monday with one of them, put this memory stick in a self addressed envelope with the lowest possible postage and drop it in the mail. Tuesday perform the same and Wednesday again the same, keep doing this and by Friday/Saturday Mondays memory stick might be back with you. Depending on the postal services speed and rotation you should be able to achieve several off site backups with a daily retrieve rate with each mornings mail.
J/K over:-
Some ISPs offer a cloud backup solution mine offers 50GB in the price which might be worth looking into.
