Really? Does that mean you already have a backup, don't care if you
lose it, or that you want something with redundancy built in (which
still isn't quite the same as having a backup).

The easy/expensive way is to buy an appliance like a NetApp and mount
it via nfs. And use its own tools for snapshots, raid management,
etc. I don't have any experience with it, but from what I've read I
would say that 'ceph' is the up-and-coming way of doing your own
distributed/redundant storage although I'm not sure I'd trust the
pieces that turn it into a filesystem yet.
