I have an external firewire 400 rack-mounted 3.5'' drive system that lets me swap out drives in a few seconds. It makes for a pretty good high-capacity backup system. Fill a drive, index it, slide out the rack, label it, stick it in a plastic bag and shelve it in a climate controlled environment. I built the box for twenty-five bucks, and racks cost five.
Im building one for a guy who does a lot of digital photography. He's been shooting for close to thirty years now, and he wants to keep all of his work protected with archives. As of right now, when he needs to back up he just buys another LaCie external hard drive. My recommendation to him is to make two sets of backups; one on a pair of racked hard disks and one on a pair of DVDs. Keep one set on site and one set off site in a climate controlled environment out of heat/light/moisture.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
