For less than $8 one can buy a mount that permits easy insertion and removal of a hard drive. The hard drive is mounted in a carrier that plugs into the mount. Shut down the box, pull out one, put in another. So a second drive so mounted could be used to backup, then removed and used in another machine, with the backup software writing a compressed file to the removable disk. I got a few of the little devices and plan to play with them when I have a spare hard drive.
You do need a spare 5.25" bay open to the outside for this, and a port adapter with room for another drive.
