paiz310 asked:

Currently, I make tape backups, but want to switch to the backup external hard drives. I need to save about 300 GB of data, storage and exchange of my sql database and a complete backup of my C:

you need at least 300 GB backup. Get a 500 GB or larger external hard drive. I always look for one that is ranked 5 stars and a lot of comments. An external hard disk 1000GB costs almost as much as three 500GB hard drives externally.

Look for the one who does good incremental backups, good compression boot and good meals. Also, find one that has restore points. Norton Ghost is a good choice.
