An Iomega Zip Drive works well. The Zip 100 is inexpensive now, and the discs are frequently on sale. I've reused my earliest ones many times with no problems. Of course, Zip Drives aren't available everywhere as CD drives and floppy drives are, so they wouldn't be much help at FHC, etc. It's nice to be able to pop the back-up zip disc into my home media safe, though. The Iomega Zip Drive is my favorite back-up storage for data and photos. Also consider getting a Google Mail E-mail address. There is a huge amount of storage associated with it. Every day I add to my genealogy file, I send a copy to my Google Mail address and archive it there. Not sure how safe it is from hackers, so may not be suitable for sensitive information, but great for genealogy data. Sorry if I'm repeating suggestions someone else has provided earlier.
