hello,

im selling my 2nd PC, so am left with my laptop, work pc and car pc

i need to back up between 40 and 100 gig of data from the pc, just incase the one with it all on goes missing or tits up

whats the best way and safest?

buy a DVD writer?
portable hard drive?
normal hard drive (take leave in work pc)
normal hard drive (in external case, so can store in safe)

what would you do? dont want to waste much money tho (150 quid tops)

cheers

You could get a 100gig harddrive for pennys.
Doesn't even need to be external.
Just connect it when needed.

Do you mean about 20 when you say a couple?
Still cheap though I suppose as dvd's don't cost much now.
