Even then reliability of media and writers is likely not going to make you
happy. Dual layer is tempting but the reliability of those is even worse than
regular media.
You haven't said anything about the type of data you have. How well does it
compress with bzip or 7zip?
LTO1 media are pretty reliable if you can keep the temperature at the right
levels. They can be had pretty cheaply on ebay these days - 100GB a piece.
