I've been pondering (read thinking one of these days I ought to before I'm very sorry) get a separate disc storage that plugs in to protect my files in a failure. It's not the money, it's the research time to find something suitable.

Bruce - if you have a reasonably up-to-date system, backing up to another hard drive (usb external) or DVD burner is very simple.

Depending on how much you want to backup a flash memory drive might not be a bad idea.

Also, if you're considering a USB harddrive, look into one of the larger MP3 player/ harddrive deals. All your backup needs and the music is handy regardless of your PC situation.

I bit the bullet and went down to CompUSA and bought a Western Digital 100 Gb USB drive for around $200. Problem solved.
