RAID5 hotplug drives plus tape backup is the only bulletproof way to avoid data loss. I have a 3tb server set up for my business stuff and favourite media in this array. Didnt take much mucking about, Dell servers come with an easy configuration utility to set up mirrored drives. If you want a cheap easy way to do this buy a Netgear 2tb Network Attached Storage device which you can stick anywhere.
I lost one hard drive in 2001 and have been paranoid ever since.
