Those 120GB removable firewire or USB harddrives work well,
but moving data is pretty slow unless you're using USB2.0.
However, they're great for transportation.

Or if you have a spare server, you can automate the backup process by setting up a
mirrored internal network and backup to there via cron job.
You can even do it so that all the necessary files are replicated,
and if your other server is having major hardware problems, you simply
unplug the old server and reroute traffic to the backup server.
