Floppies!!! You would probably only need about 100'000 or so (accounting for the dodgy ones).

Seriously though, either another HDD (like Snarks suggested) or you could do it failry painlessly onto DVD-R's too. I would think for that money you could get a pretty decent external DVD-R drive and enough disks... I think they are about 9 gig each.

The problem with backing up to another HDD is that its magnetic media, If the data is valuable you would be better off with DVD-R, at least you havent got to worry about some prick leaving it next to some stereo speakers and wiping it!
