Calling all computer geeks! Looking for advice!

I bought a 500gb Maxtor One Touch external for like 60 bucks on Black Friday last year at Staples. I'd expect something like that this year, too.
There's little dinky portable externals, too, but I'd go for the big one.

I went with the SeaGate Sata FreeAgent pro - 1 Terabyte. Networked to my main system accessible by all my systems in the house (wireless and wired) as well as I can VPN in from the net.

Thats the way to do it. I'm probably going to have a similar setup after black friday, I'm going to try to find deals on external Tera

SeaGate FAP is the one I would go with

I like the solution, but how or where are you backing up data that is on it?
