I'm looking for a solution to backup both my PC and my laptop to one place. I'll primarily be backing up documents and images, but will undoubtedly have some movies and music too. I'm keeping my options open, but at the moment I'm thinking an external drive in case I need to, for some reason, flee with my data.
Ideally I'd like to be able to backup both machines over my network, but in the alternative would be willing to move the drive back and forth between computers periodically.
At the moment I'm thinking of an Iomega eGo Portable Mac Edition. I understand they can be reformatted for Windows use, and have Firewire 400 and 800 connections (fast is good). Suggestions? If at all possible I'd like to keep my cost at or below $100.
I'd also be curious to hear what people think about software given my needs.
Thanks for the assistance!
