[olug] Backup solutions

[Obi-Wan]

Hey folks,

Since some of you deal with this stuff on a daily basis and I don't,
I'll shoot you an email before I start digging around.

If you had to find a backup solution for, say, 2-4 TB spread across a
handful of linux-based NFS file servers, what would be the cheapest
workable solution?  Or at least, where should I start looking for
solutions?

Our admin at work has convinced the boss that such a solution will cost
six figures, and therefore won't increase our available disk space
beyond what we can currently backup.  Some of our data disks routinely
hover around 98%, and many developers are forced to store data (not
code) on local desktops that aren't backed up.

Now I'm off to look this up myself...
