The way I handle things is that I use a HP Microserver running Ubuntu for storage. I don't use RAID or any volume spanning. I then periodically mirror each HDD in the HP Microserver to a separate external backup HDD (formatted as NTFS) of the same size (2TB) using an eSata connection. As only the changes are copied over this doesn't take that much time.
If anything goes wrong I can always access the data on the backup HDDs from Windows. Not perhaps the most elegant solution but it suits me.
