a couple external HD's are nice to have for backup, and the best solution for speed once you get into the gigabytes.. basically copy and paste. Some external drives from Maxtor I believe have a 1 touch backup option.. not sure what that is exactly but if it's 1 touch it must be easy.
raid 0 is for speed only, raid 1 is mirror only, raid 0+1 is both and requires 4 drives I believe.. raid 5 is a good option with the parity thing(min 3 drives, if one dies you can just replace it and the other two will have the information to rebuild the data on the 3rd).
