Haven't seen anyone on the list mention using it, but Iomega
introduced some interesting hardware last year.  I think they
call it "Rev", basically a small, removalble hard drive
cartridge.  Think high capacity, tiny zip drive as it has
35GB native capacity and a builtin compressor.  Along with
their single slot device, they also introduce an autoloader
that can hold 10 cartridges.

If the capacity is reasonable for your needs you might have
your HD backup and off-site capability combined.
