Just a quick thought. I saw at least one person mention RAID, and another mention multiple copies of the same data. A true backup copy is off line. RAID does not protect you from an accidental delete, virus, etc... Multiple copies only spreads the risk around.
I backup to a USB hard disk. I plug it in, backup, unplug it, de- cable and park it in a filing cabinet. The disk spends 99.99% of it's life powered off. It should last a decade or more like this, but I buy a new disk to replace it every 5 years, regardless if it needs it or not. Really critical stuff goes on a CD-R, stored flat in a jewel case, and goes in the safe deposit box.
