I'll vote LTO3 as well (but $$$$).  The nice thing about LTO3 is that
you'll saturate your bus to the unit before you reach the
transfer limits of LTO3.

Another possible alternative is disk.  Disk is fast and
is also quite cheap.  Might even consider USB disk.  Then
you have a portable solution that can be connected to
multiple computers one at a time for backing up (it's
flexible).  Might be a more cost effective "small situation"
backup solution.
