Largest backup technology?

Sure, just depends on your budget. At the TB or larger stage you are generally looking at a tape library. LTO drives will go up to 400gigs per tape though under optimal conditions. Beyond that though you need a tape changer or you could set up an array of drives. I did that for a past project with DLT drives. None of those are cheap though so it depends on what your budget is.

 
You can put together a mult-TB disk array for not too much money (relatively of course). Throw a decent machine together and buy an 8 port or more SATA RAID controller like the 3ware 9000 series and fill the case with as many drives as you want. Rackmount cases with a lot of hotswap bays gets expensive pretty fast though...probably $1500-2500 just for the case and PSUs but it's worth it imho.

Edit: NTFS has a hard limit of 2TB per partition/disk so if you have an array over 2TB you either need to use Linux or split that array up to <=2TB arrays, convert them to dynamic disks and stripe them in Windows' disk manager.
