I've just had a Seagate die on me, losing several TB of my movie collection. I'm looking for this to not happen again (third time now, actually). The point of these things is to be backups, but if the backups can die, they're useless. How do I store data and KNOW that it's not going anywhere? Where is a genuinely safe place to hoard my stuff?

EDIT: Thanks everyone. I got a bunch of good advice here to work with. I appreciate the help you offered!
