Anyone recommend the latest technology in backing up data so we can take it off-site ?

I don't mean anything flash, just being able to eject the backup medium and take it off-site ?

Data is about 4GB

Thinking about it, what about a DVD-RW ?

Wonder if its possible to schedule a backup with one of these ?

Yeah, but looking into it, a DVD+RW would handle 4.7GB and the discs are only a tenner!

Plus Dunk, think of other things I could copy with a DVD+RW ?!

Just checked out Sony's package - external or internal with a ton of software in the bundle including "retrospect express" which is for backup and disaster recovery. This sounds like the boy.
