Depending on storage requirements, I would go with a thumb drive or external HD. Manually back things up and take it offsite. I'm not a Windows guy anymore so I can't recommend an automated solution.

To be honest with you Peter, I'm starting to think about becoming an abacus kind of guy more and more these days...

Last I looked, I'm in the 500gb range. Like I said, I have an external HD that most stuff is in, it would just be nice to know I wouldn't loose pictures, etc. in between.
