Scenario: Ubuntu 16.04 backs up local drives every night to NAS. But since ubuntu boots faster than the NAS, should there be a systemwide restart after a power failure, the NAS wont be mounted because it was not initialized when the fstab was run.
What is the best way to deal with this? I suppose a few minute delay before trying to mount the NAS volume would do the trick, but how?

What is the contents of /etc/fstab? Adding timeo bg retry options should address that.

You could just add the option ofnofailto the mount line so that if it is down it doesn't hang during boot. I also use this option for external USB drives that I prefer to have an actual mount point.

While changing mount options in fstab would address Ubuntu booting before NAS, It would not remount if NAS went down and came back up again. Autofs may be a better option for you since it automatically mounts directories on an as-needed basis. If at boot is your only concern then replace the "defaults" option with "bg, timeo=600 " in fstab See the NFS Manpage for details on those options.
