I ended up purchasing the Western Digital My Book (320 gig). This has helped me stop worrying about the years and years of digital photos that my wife and I have accumulated. I have also started backing up my music ... it is truly a relief I can now officially rest easy. I guess I should consider offsite backup but there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to backups.
I was very disappointed that Western Digital (WD) only include the basic back up software with the more expensive units. I am going to continue to use the XP back utility. I may try modifying the startup initialization file on the My Book in order to run XP backup utility automatically when I connect it. Not sure if that will work!
