Cloud is a non-starter. Megaupload. Code/Spaces. Not worth the risk.

Magtape is the best bang for the buck for archival purposes. Run backups 
from production to disk on the backup server. Replicate these backups to 
tape. Rotate tapes to the storage facility of your choice on a regular 
basis. I've had a good relationship with Iron Mountain's tape vaulting 
service in the past.
