BOFH: The Great Backup BACKDOWN

Stupid request for advice

My machine at home is decrepit (still love it).

At work, there is enough replication, so backing up is never a problem.

My decrepit machine at home has many bytes, but not enough to even save my media files lately.

I know I need a modern machine, planning to buy one by the end of this month (more trouble, finding out how to set partitions for Linux and earlier Windows on that)

... but the question is, what is the best form of backup storage for gigs for a home user? Blu-ray? Tape? Something else?
