I currently use Time Machine to back up to a couple of USB drives.

I would like something more robust and preferably LAN based to cover the three macs we have in the house.

Time Capsule is the obvious recommendation, but I've ruled it our for a few reasons.

1) Who would trust a serious backup to a single disk.
2) There are worrying stories on the web of Time Capsules dying at approx 18 months
3) I think that they are overpriced for what you get
4) I already have a router doing a really good job (£40).

Beyond all of that, the built in Time Machine / Capsule function is really useful. Any recommendations on other devices that support these forms of backups?

Thanks in Advance.
