Maybe offsite backup? (Score 1)

Yep, this works well for me. I have a slew of 160GB drives and I use them for offsite backups at other family members' houses. I gave up with DVDs when I got to 40GB. Having so many obsolete drives made me able to have multiple offsite backups which is always nice.

However I did go to the dark side first and set up big RAID arrays with them that were very fast. The only snag was I had to do that in each machine else I got upset copying files around as I wasn't using the fast drives efficiently. Then of course you have to get GigE to keep things rolling. Then you realize your time could be better spent posting to /.
