external hard drive suggestions & backup

Hi guys,

Just switched to a imac 20" 2.0 Ghz. Was running a pc, with two year old hardrives.

Please reference thread "lacie horrors"

I have a 160g & 80g hardrives that i could purchase a double external case for, but does this make since. I can buy a external hd pretty cheap for backup

Is there freeware backup software avalaible for macs? I think i have enough usb/fire ports for all of my needs . . . maybe not?

please comment and provide advise.

Thanks,

Superduper! is great, and free for making full, bootable backups - to get smart updates you'll need to buy it though.
