I received the following question from Joe:

“Is there an easy way to install a USB hard drive that can be used for backups?”

Answer:

Easy is always a relative term, but the following article talks about how to setup a schedule with multiple external drives and should give you what you need.

Another option these days is cloud based backup.  Windows Azure is offing a Preview of their backup service, additional details here:

Until next time,
