As sort of an aside - we're looking at something like this too, and I found that ATL has some network attachable units (with GBE interfaces) that I'm going to be talking with them about tommorrow.
I just wish they were AIT units rather than DLT. Less space wasted.
Still not sure if we'll go that way or with a backup SAN.
