One interesting variation on this that I've read about is to put a
NAS or NAS RAID inside a fire-resistant gun safe. A lot of them have
electrical outlets inside, and you can actually use an ethernet
powerline adapter to access the device while it is running inside the
safe.
Granted, it's not going to survive a full-on fire torture test like
it would (hopefully) do inside a media safe (not that you couldn't
overcook one of those, too), but it's a lot more protection than most
people have short of an offsite backup. And you can access the
information live on your own LAN.
Alternatively, you could look into something like the Schwab
DataFortress or the ioSafe.
