Also, cost and convenience are a factor. I'd like something that I setup once and the backups are done on a regular basis automatically. I don't want to sit at my PC burning disks if I don't have to.

Also, I'd like to say "computer geek" is a term of endearment.
Get a RAID enclosure; you'll have to buy hard drives to fill it. RAID can mirror, stripe, or mirror and stripe your drives so you have redundancy and do not have to worry about losing our data because of a drive failure. If you fill up the drives you buy, you can always upgrade the drives.

Computer Geek is a compliment...
