As far as which external drive to get, unless your looking for something special, I would recommend whichever one is half price in this Sunday's newspaper circulars. Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy, Office Max, etc. Someone always has a sale on one almost every week.
Ah...I didn't think about that however I did know that because of reading another thread so that should have entered my thinking but it did not. I do not need anything special. I would just want to back up in general and I assume there is a thread I can search for when I get a drive to help me out. Thanks!
