...the cheapest route would be popping in an additional 100GB IDE drive, using something like Norton Ghost or Drive Image to mirror the contents to the second drive, then pull he second drive out and store it in a safe, off-site place. However, this gets to be a huge pain in the arse if you do this on a regular basis.

A better option for repeat backups would be an external FireWire/USB 2.0 drive, which cost a little bit more, but you can "unplug and lug".

But you pretty much are going to need another hard drive to back it up either way; other backup methods like tape, network, and optical media are useless for that kind of volume.
