Currently using this type of enclosure

Coupled with a large drive it should do the trick.
I find it works well and USB 2.0 is very fast so litteraly no lag whatsoever and much more fun than DVD DATA disc backups also.
u can carry around a TeraByte or 2 in a couple of these cases.

had a couple of big ass firewires i used alot. work great for backups. have not tried the USB2 yet, but had a pair of the old original USB ones an they suckedComment

I've got 2 firewire and a USB2..
USB2 is faster, quieter, and cooler looking, and goes to sleep when you don't use it for whatever time you set.Comment

They are cheap, hold a lot of data, and very fast. What else would you use for backups?Comment

Something like this exactly what I'm after. I really like the fact that all you have to do is swap to a new harddrive once you fill the existing one up.Originally posted by doober

I have a 250gig from maxtor wich works great...if you want a 100% backup use a raid setup..and always burn a DVD with your most important files and give put them in a safe at your bank or something...in case your house burns flat
Sounds silly until it really happens...
Send me a PM for design workComment

actually thats a pretty good idea. I do keep a copy at another place on dvd, cd though. I also only work from laptops now, so this is one of the main reasons why im looking for this type of thing for backups.Comment
