If you can group your data conveniently, the cheapest by far is CD-R or CD-RW. 600-700 megs a shot covers a good bit if you compress with a backup program, or better make a big Zip file, a directory file uncompressed, and write both to the CD. I see no reason not to use CD-R, and just keep them until the data is ready to discard. A safe procedure would be make the backup CD, then copy it and store one copy off-site. You could probably arrange with a friend to exchange backup storage at no cost.
