One idea we've come up (and surely we're not the only ones) is to use cheap IDE disks for backup, possibly in a cold-swappable insert. As long as you can keep several backups per disk (say using some of those 100GB disks), preferrably even on a different machine, that's fairly cheap. If you want to keep daily backups for a week, weekly for a year, and all on separate media, of course, that's *not* cheap with this method, and even DLT or similar prices become acceptable in comparision. But it certainly beats *no* backup!
