If going with an external backup and pars... I'd also add md5sums to the list.

I've had great success using external drives drives connected to a low power
device like the Raspberry Pi.

The full data system:
CPU 0 -  Original is on host drive.
Pi 0 -  Backup is RAID 1 [with two separate drives]
Pi 1 -  Repair data is on separate backup drive along with md5sum lists. 

All connected via network, rsync between machines.  Cron scripts run nightly to
retrieve, verify -- md5sum -c first, repair data.

Additional cost is:
$70 for 2xRPi
$250 for 3x1GB drives
