You must really be hard up for cash :-) The most expensive solution, a 40
Gig hard drive, is worth less than $40. CDs (say a 50-pack plus a few)
could cost as little as $5 (although I would recommend instead buying top-
quality rather than no-name generic media at perhaps triple the cost). If
you already have the burner DVDs might be a better choice (less risk of
technological obsolescence than CDs).
In any case I recommend you store the backup offsite (relative, etc.) to
eliminate risks from fire, flood, etc.
