Hi stylie, something else you might consider and this is just a suggestion, is what I have done. Went out and bought an inexpensive 60Gb external HDD for about 60.00. I use a back up program that once you have done the first initial back up of your whole system, all the other back ups that you do are incremental meaning it will only back up what has been added since the last back up. Another nice feature is the HDD is portable so you can shut it down and unplug the USB cable and take your whole system with you. Its about the size of a scientific calculator. Will fit in a shirt pocket.
