On-line storage backup options

Hello, all: Here's an oddball question. I have a small Windows NT Server network at home that frankly I use mostly for storing all sorts of crap -- classic and other. It's overkill (Compaq dual PPro200 3U server and 4-drive RAID 5 and 10gb DLT) for what I need but the price was good. With hard drive densities continuing to increase I was toying with building some sort of NAS unit to replace the server. So, I'm looking for suggestions on building a stand-alone, small NAS system, maybe using Linux, and it has to be more appliance-like rather than a full-blown system. Any thoughts or suggestions on implementation? On an unrelated note, I'd like to automatically mirror the information on the RAID to a cheap 40gb drive (because I'm too lazy to mount the tape and do a backup). I have some server-oriented backup probrams but they don't allow you to backup to a file -- you can only back up to a physical tape drive. Any thoughts on this?
