Agree on the 3ware controllers.

If the amount of data can compress into a CD or DVD you could consider a
burner.

Moreover, although not a replacement for a tape backup or burning to
CD/DVD you could also consider having an extra disk outside the RAID for
backups. For example to keep multiple days of data on the second disk for
easy/quick access.
