If you really care for the data, buy two, and make a software RAID array out of them. Agreed. In fact I would suggest that you make the 500GB RAID 1 setup your primary data storage partition. This would give you protection against a single disc (out of the two 500GB) failing. Increased read performance will be a side effect! You additionally require off-disk backups if you want to protect against accidental deletion / file system corruption. rsync is the way to go, as always.

Take a harddrive of double or more capacity than your total data and do a weekly rsync of all your data.

Older cds or dvds used to last for years but i have noticed that newer ones dont. Maybe they have compromised quality somewhere to bring down the cost. Tapes are not that good specially for home use.
