I second this motion.  For weekly backups I use CD-Rs and a software
package called NTI Backup Now.  Its a kludge in many respects, and there
are doubtless better ones around -- I've heard that Adaptec makes one, for
example.  But what's nice is that I can set up a standard format to back up
the same folders every week, and it will do the job on schedule.  700 MB is
a LOT of data, by my standards, and at less than a quarter each...
