Or think about a LTO 4 library - pick one up cheap for automated backup to muliple tapes, eventually change a drive to LTO6 (the libary is just a high-tech tape holder...) -- a Blu-Ray holds what... 50GB? A LTO4 tape is 1.2TB and maxes out gigabit ethernet transfer speeds (when set up right)
It's the only "lights-out" (unattended) overnight backup. Twenty-year life span like XDCAM disks and big capacity.

It's better than hard drives. Maybe BluRays? I am trying to figure out what to do with all these myself. I have far too much material for the cost of cloud storage.
