I need to get something that I can plug into each of my 3 computers ( doesnt have to be at same time) so i can back up my systems as needed. Would a random USB external hard drive work for this, or do i need something more. ideas, suggestions plz :) Thanks
 
that will work fine, but I wouldn't consider a backup unless its something that will stay disconnected 99% of the time, which it sounds like you're planning to do.
 
Yeah, I got Windows Live OneCare for free and hate that if I don't back up files the little dot is orange ( yeah i know I'm ocd) so I need somethign i can just plug in and back up all 3 my systems. the 1st back up, which i did on dvd's :/ was about 23gb. So I'm thinking about a 160 gb ext hd would be good. Some room for movies if i choose
 
Get an External Drive(eSata) and put it on one of computers all the time. Then use Logmein to backup your data.
 
Windows Live Onecare already does back up for all my comps and there isn't much room inside my computers.
Last back up of all 3 totaled about 60gb
 
for archival use I'd really go with a seagate for the warranty...but then again hopefully you'll never have to because the drive will be sitting idle in your closet 99% of the time...hopefully.
