IMHO a WD My Book is the best solution. The data stays on your side of the firewall and recovers very quickly. Backups are real-time not scheduled so your data is always safe. I love mine.

I have one.
Do you do a lot of photography in RAW format and save files in TIFF? I can use up more storage space in an afternoon of shooting than the average person imagines.

I had one of those. Worked great until Seagate pushed out a software upgrade that killed both 500 GB drives. Since they were mirrored everything was lost.
That also wont protect you against a fire.

I saw these the other day and wondered about them. If you do crash and cannot recover and buy a new computer, do you just plug in the WD My Book USB and recover to the new computer? I guess I'm asking that of any backup/recovery devices.
Right now I save everything important to a flash drive. Granted, I don't have much to save.
