I'd look into a RAID 10 SAN.

Every type of media is succeptible to failure and degradation over time. With a RAID 10 disk array, you defeat this by periodically swapping out hard drives and having every bit written to more than one place. This is about the only way to protect from media failure, though you are still screwed if your building burns down.
