The NAS options out there are pretty slick these days...a few hundred bucks
for lots of redundant RAID storage, managed, and super-easy setup. We have a
fancy one here at the office and we've lost a couple drives (in the NAS
itself) over the years, but have yet to lose a single byte of data through
the drive failures. Expensive, but worry free. Also, it doesn't give you an
off-site backup.

The Terabyte (Image for Windows) approach is a nice secondary allowing you
an offsite option that can be recovered very quickly. IfW can make DVDs
directly, which is a nice option. You gotta remember to do the work,
though...
