I've been successfully running a 4x250Gb Raid5 over ieee1394 with XFS on top.
The 4 drives are sharing the same ieee1394 bus, so the bandwidth is
awfull, because they have

Of all modes I wouldn't use a linear setup for backups. One disk dies - all

I'd go for an external raid5 solution, tho those tend to be slow and
expensive.
Unfortunately budget is the overriding factor here. Unlike RAID 0, I
thought there may be a way

As for USB and FireWire (ieee1394) disks and tape drives, the news is
not good. They appear to Linux as SCSI devices but their implementations
do not usually support

You can get 1TB+ RAID0 FW800 drives.
