if you are backing up 50gb (raw) or about 2x-3x that compressed,
bluray is a consideration (its what i use),
or if large, and ok with multipart.
i use panasonic  re 50gb bluray with 100year life span,
they are a bit pricey now, but should drop alot in next year.
I don't trust tapes or harddrives, bluray is simple ( a huge standard),
and easy to make a copy and store off site.When
you want to upgrade later, you use the old bluray for a pvr system or
something similar (it has value).
If you are doing more then 100gb raw, and don't want to split up
(assuming dual bluray), then maybe its not the
best solution, but db backups tend to be quite compressible.
