How do you back up terabytes of data, preferably as inexpensively as
possible?

Does the data changes? How many TB? How often is the backup done?

I recently used 4x 500GB drives in RAID 5. $104 dollars per drive
which gives you about 1.1TB available. If you don't use raid then 2 TB
for $400 3 months ago + hp workstation.

I guess the question is how important is the data?
Can you get it again if drives goes bad?
How would you use the backup?

How fast is your pipe and how fast des it accumulate / change? A few
of the bottom end web hosting providers give 4TB storage - we use
bluehost for $96/year as an auxiliary backup. Serve web files from
your acct or don't... Mozy is another online svc - for not much more
you getunlimited online backup, but their commercial plans are more $$$

If it's data you can make public, archive.org will host it online for free.
