I am not a computer person, by a long shot. But, I do own several computers in my business and I started using external hard drives for backup purposes earlier this year. In fact, I'm cleaning one out as I'm typing this, it stores about a month of backups, then when one fills up I erase all but the last two days and start from there again.

In a nutshell, they're great. My PC technician has been recommending them to small businesses like mine for about a year and has a lot of positive experience with them.

I use two of them, I alternate them daily and backup my entire hard drive everyday and bring it to an off site safe. I just grab the other one out of the safe and bring it to work the next day.

I've yet to retrieve anything, but my tech. was here last night and gave me a demo on how to do so. All the information was there and easy to retrieve.

I use iomega's and haven't had any trouble at all. I think they're 120 gig, not much more price to upgrade to that size from the 80's I was looking at to begin with.
