Sorry, but you're going to need another solution. Time Machine doesn't back-up to NAS devices: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733

Dunno about RAID6 but I've been backing our three Macs to a Lacie NAS for about 2 years now with no problems. The NAS was attached by Ethernet to an Airport Extreme Base Station.
