What’s your backup plan? Are you even backing up? With large external hard drive prices so low right now you really have no excuse for not backing up your critical data to an external drive.

I just came across the Western Digital 500 GB My Book Essential 2.0 USB 2.0 External Hard Drive for less than $100! Have something against Western Digital? A 500GB external USB 2.0 drive from Iomega or LaCie can be found closer to $100.00. Even a Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500 GB Hard Drive which comes with some really snazzy backup and sharing software can be had for less than $120.

Don’t be caught by surprise. You never know when your primary hard drive might fail. Get a backup drive and regularly backup your critical data, photos, music, and videos to it. For added protection get two and always rotate and keep one at your office or a friends’ or family member’s house in case of flood or fire.
