If we're veering off to archive storage, Cloud storage for the win.

Dropbox, Google Docs, etc offer fairly large free storage and are replicated (very little risk of loss of data due to hardware of any kind)

A $10/month (approx) hosting package at 1and1.com can easily be negotiated to unlimited storage (again replicated by them; no worries).

Many options. Having a copy off-site is safer anyway. Add in replication and backups as part of the deal and it is a very easy to have plenty of backed up and redundant storage space.

Then you can look into Rackspace and the slew of other actual Cloud services and make up your mind.

I haven't burned a DVD or CD backup in years, unless it was for a temporary transfer (give Joe Doe a copy of his website in current state).

I do have access to (and help support) Enterprise Cloud/backup systems, and understand the value. I also see value in 'free' for home users. Depends on your needs.
1and1 would likely notice 2 terrabytes being uploaded, but 100 gig of space on their servers has not ever been mentioned to me. Plus unlimited websites .. for about $10/month.
Maybe I got lucky, but they do have some nice packages.
