An identically configured machine in another building. A 20-pack of 160GB disks is under $5K; you can even swap out a complete set of disks and take them offsite since they're all in carriers.
The incredibly low costs of these things have forced a change in how many of us think about data storage. Building a 2+TB filesystem is no longer a sign of insanity or too much money to spend (or both), it's a weekend project.
