Backup solutions for big sites

With more and more tubes popping up with terrabytes of data. How do these guys manage the backups?

RAID isn't an option, since drive failures/ drive copies always can go wrong.

Offsite backups are pain in the ass to move 10+TB every day at like 10 mbits...

Incremental backups could help, but copying the whole system from time to time is needed and runs in the two digits or more TBs.

How do the big hosting firms do those needed backups of clients with LOADS of needed disc space?

Anyway, discuss...
