Buy yourself a mobile mount harddrive kit for like $5.00, put a cheap 80
gig drive in it. Shutdown, install drive, power backup, do backups,
shutdown, remove drive and power backup your computer... works like a
charm.
If you can't possibly take down your computer, then you're into something
more professional like tape drives.
