get drop box

getdropbox.com

its used for file sharing over multiple comuters but you also get a fair amount of free space, I use it for all my school stuff, it means i dont loose anything i i never have to use my schools stupud email sysytem in which 1 of 3 mails actualy comes through and even then it prabarbly doesnt have the attachments...

anyway, drop box is awesome

edit: you get 2 gigs free but sign up for a payment thing and you get ridiculus amounts of space

No need to 'copy & paste' if you have an external hard-drive.

The external hard drive will come with software that allows it to backup automatically (daily,weekly, wateva your likely). Also you can choose to backup "my documents", "C Drive", "D Drive" etc, without the annoying copy paste routine.

does your external harddrive have an e-SATA connection?

If they're just documents, then emailing yourself would be the best way to go.
