I finally decided to back up my hard drive with another hard drive.
I order a USB box to hold a hard drive from Tiger direct($46). My local computer store wanted $75. I did however purchase a 80gb Maxtor hard drive from them ($79). It is a "special edition" with a 8mb buffer vs the normal 1-2mb buffer. The h-d came with a 3 1/2 floppy that runs you through step by step to format, sector and copy the entire hard drive.
I will be copying the drive tonight and taking it home. If I have a stolen computer or a fire, I can simply place the hard drive in a new box and I will be ready to go.
The data files will be updated via my cd backups.
