Simple Backup Solution, anyone, Bueller?

Calling all build masters - I'm needing a simple backup solution for my system(s). I have a 1TB drive on my main box and another 1TB drive on my secondary box.
Ideally I'd like to have a solution where I could just hookup an external drive via USB3 or something, and press a backup button - is this possible?
Anyone have any ideas that don't involve a complex RAID or STRIP setup?? Also, I'm running win7 pro on my main and XP pro on my 2nd.
Thanks!

it clones and backup your hard drive

 

Sorry man, I only rely upon NAS. They have one touch buttons to backup their contents through the USB port. Really, NAS is for data redundancy and then you take backups of the redundant volume. This is really the best way for data backups. It took me a while to save up for that but I finally got it. If you have a spare computer lying around you can get windows home server. You have your computer #1 and computer #2 scheduled for automated weekly backups running and you have your home server set up as the backup location. Set up BIOS to power on at a set time so that the backups have somewhere to go then have windows server experience a timed shutdown event maybe 24 hours later. You will never miss a moment for backup. Trust me, you will forget to plug in that usb drive when it's so important.

 

Awesome! I'll need a bigger office - hehe.

 

Actually it doesn't take up a lot of room. I have mine right under/behind my monitor. There are going to be other ones that allow for 2.5" drives so that they take up less room and you can place it right on top or under your router with a really short network cable. Netgear readynas also allows you to set up home surveillance with the nas.
