Backup Options.

Hi.
Im looking for a backup option for my main PC.
I'd like to be able to backup all 580Gb of my data once a month onto some sort of removable media.

The only option ive come up with is the Iomega Revo Drives, but at £200 for just the drive and £40 per 35Gb drive, thats amounts to a lot of money.

Any ideas?

Umm, why not just buy a few 250GB HDDs and use them?

Three 250GB HDDs are cheaper then one 500GB. :eek:

Because they wont come with software.

I want something that'd allow me to just run some basic software, that'll image my entire PC to a backup drive/device.

How about a Maxtor One Touch

Try Drive Snapshot, it's very basic but gets the job done. I've been using it for a while, it's the only backup program I've found to work on XP 64.

I considered one of those, but ive been told that it requires specialist software.
