Backup your music and photos CHEAP!

A friend of mine asked me about backing up her music. Fitting post for this place.

and

Gives you 40GB of external USB storage that you can backup your music.

For under $80

If you want 80GB of backup, just replace the above item with:

You'll spend a little over a hundred bucks but will have plenty of room for growth.

Combine the above external hard drives with the following FREE software (from Microsoft)

and you can schedule a nightly backup of your music to your external hard drive. And best of all it's easy.
