    If I setup a normal backup schedule with full backup in weekend, differential every day and log every hour through SQL server Management Studio (like the one I have for remotebackup) and point it to local disk. Then if I make a new backup to lets say a NAS on the network, then would that have to be a COPY_ONLY backup to not disturb the other full, differential and log backup ?

    Yes. In my opinion I would do the NAS backup as copy only. I'm not sure about editing the plans. There is an alternative though. You can write a SQL script to do the backup and set up a command files (in the old DOS days we called them a "batch" file) to run that script using SQLCMD. Then you can use your favorite task scheduler to automate that.
