I currently have a 3x1TB RAID-5 array. It contains backups of my other

have previous editions. It also holds my media archive, and in particular my
music collection that I really don't want to have to rip again. So while part
of it is backup for other systems, part of it needs backed up. I'd like some
means of coping with fire or theft of the server. I want something with some
room to expand, which can do the whole job unattended. So what would the
storage professionals here recommend? Tape autoloaders big enough to cope
with >2TB seem stunningly expensive to me; even the tapes are as expensive
per GB as hard drives...
The cheapest method?
Create another host, rsync + tar daily to the other host with the same
configuration.
