I made the mistake of not backing up my 6 year old computer and one day it just died. My main goal it to be sure that doesn't happen again. I am also going to be installing a Windows 7 upgrade disk that was included in the purchase of my new Dell. I already have programs on my new computer that I need to be sure aren't lost, so I am looking to back everything up.

I found a nice HP external drive that says it is simply plug and play. Apparently, it does everything and all I have to do is plug it into a USB port. I like the simplicity of that.

It seems like the online back up would be the most secure, but I do have 3 computers that need to be backed up. Can I back up 3 different computers on one hard drive if it has enough storage? Can I back up more than one computer per internet account or would I need three online accounts?
