I have found this problem (in generality) over and over again.

I then realized that my problem is that on the one hand I have NAS and 
backups, and on the other hand is archives, which pretty much never get 
destroyed.

I'm currently deciding on my primary and secondary backup servers, the 
choice is not hard, but the off-site backup is a bit difficult.  I might 
look into LTO-4 for both off-site backup AND another set of tapes for 
archives.  I am multimedia engineer so I generate a lot of data, and 
yes, a lot of it is valuable.

Does any of this touch on your problem, Phil?
