Need a new one simply to back up my Macs every now and again.

Backup online....... ? Using something like mozy or similar, might be better suited, as they are on a schedule too.

See my recent time machine thread. Just because you think it's backed up and you can see some files, don't assume ANYTHING with time machine.

It's a piece of crap.
