I'm telling Mocky that you should have an external HD for backup. . . but ideally, you should have 2 HDDs and use RAID.

I'm also not above taking photos and some other odds n' ends and burning them onto DVD, then storing those DVDs at a place other than your own home.

i'm thinking that's a good idea and definitely not opposed to archiving photos and other documents on dvd (and keeping that at my parents place).

just was wondering if a "storage/archive/backup HD" can also double as an additional hard drive as well (And carry dual purposes)

I'm saying this day and age. . . you buy two identical drives and run RAID across them. If you need a bigger HDD to carry with the laptop. . . then just use it as a temp space. . . and then move your files into the RAID'd system.

I'm sayin' no problem. . . if you're having back pain like I think you're having back pain. . . you can never have too many friends, too much support. . . or too much booze. (
