it's not the easiest thing to set up, but it's basically maintenance-free once you've got it working.
for backend storage your best bet would probably be a RAID5 array of SATA drives. Do it right and you could make it growable, so as you need more capacity, you just add more drives. Is this going to be a cheap solution? Probably not, but it's probably the best delta of cost/reliability/usability you'll find.
Supermicro makes 3U boxes that can hold 15 SATA drives. Pair that with an Adaptec 16 channel SATA RAID controller, Linux, and Bacula, and you've got at least 3 Terabytes of storage at your disposal.
For a small fee, of course
