What would you do with the external HD? Use it with a backup
program or replication program...?

You keep saying this, but don't give examples of what better methods there
are.
There have been many examples proffered. I think you just don't want to
acknowledge them. I won't repeat Jeff's list, which is quite complete and
very useful for us all. It includes some technologies that are waxing and
some that are waning. I think RAID has gone dark. Some of us have not
gotten there yet.
I do apperciate Jeff's efforts to write it all down. RAID vs. RAIS is an
interesting concept, that I won't agree with.
All this is what makes this list special.
I think we should scale this back to the parameters of the original
question: given a limited budget and the need to protect about 1TB, which
of these technologies make sense? I woule go for DVDs *and* an external
hard drive, but no RAID.
