Drobo is very expensive. Its like $450 with ZERO storage.
An HP Medismart Windows Home server is $500 with 500GB of storage. It will automatically back up your Windows machines with an installable client. Not sure if there are clients for Linux/Mac, I'm thinking not. Plus, it also provides shared folders, web based access for files and remoting into your PCs, plus more.
If you aren't 100% windows then the Seagate Mirra, which is a linux based stand alone backup device. The M-500 comes with 500GB storage for $339 and it supports windows and mac.

Finally, if you are only going to backup less than a dozen GB or so... check out Jungle Disk with Amazons S3 service. You can store whatever you want for $.15GB per month. Jungle Disk works as an offsite drive and/or an automated backup. For $20 you can install it on as many machines as you want to access your S3 account.
