[Hidden-tech] Looking for good external backup/storage devices/systems for Windows XP

[Mary Malmros]

Hey folks,

I'm a good backer-upper, but am hampered by the fact that I'm only using 
DVDs, which won't hold all of my data much less an image of my hard 
drive.  I want to get an external backup/storage device that I can use 
for image backups of my hard drive as well as backups of selected data 
(incremental type things).  I'm looking for recommendations of solutions 
that people have:

- actually used to back up in the described manner, and
- actually used to restore something, ideally a trashed hard drive.

I'm also interested in opinions on flash drives, especially 1 gb size. 
Anyone got a brand to recommend, or comments on flash drive storage in 
general?
