I use an external USB 2.0 or Firewire HD with some 60GB capa. Just connect it,
mount it in some /mnt/external dir, and then run rsync to sync all my home
directory ('cause that's what I value the backup for) with only the diffs
since the last rsync.
This way I protect the data even from PC HW issues, and can carry it around in
case of need.
