A very low-cost solution would consist of rotating several
160 GByte hard disks, each installed in a Mobile Rack drawer.
This would make for a very fast and very reliable backup. If
you installed them on the server then you would have to shut
down the server each time you change disks.
I believe there are some suppliers who sell racks that
let you hot-swap IDE hard disks. Check Google - it returns
more than 5,500 hits for "IDE disk" "hot swap".
