Why don't you just back up the crucial stuff like work that you've been working on, not just the entire harddisk. That stuff can easily fit on a pen drive or CD.
Otherwise you're just backing up a hard disk full of rubbish :)

The biggest mistake people make is figuring out their backup method - but not their restore method.
I dont want to be 3 weeks getting everything back the way I want it. I box up most of my software and send it loftwards so it's out of the way, I dont always find them again on the first attempt...
I dont have a backup procedure, I have a restore procedure that my backup process fits into.
Only recently have we started to see low end backup software support backing up of open files, there's still millions of companies out there who think they are backing up but will run into trouble the moment they try to restore it all.
