As a matter of fact, there are some deals at Newegg today on 1 to 1.5TB
external drives

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150414+131021336&name=800GB+and+higher

Or, if the 1TB isn't quite full or the data will compress a bit, you can find external 750GB drives even cheaper. I'd get a couple of these, compress the data, and rotate them offsite.
