To do similar thing I recently bought a mobile harddrive (USB 2.0 or firewire) [at freecom www.freecom.com ]: the capacity of such mobile hard drives can be quite large (20/40/60 GB) the unity of storage is cheap, the size is smaller than my former ZiP (100) drive.
My box is a Debian testing/unstable box with kernel 2.4.23

Hi guys,
I thinking about buying some form of portable hardware for my linux
system. It is for backing up my system and moving data from one system
to another.
I have load on infomation of several computers. Some of these computers have no internet conection.
So i thinking about getting a Zip drive or a jazz drive. Or something
along these lines. It has to be able to work though the USB.
But i have heard, that there are problems with drivers a such like things. For some hardware like this. I have a Debian system, installed on all of these machines. Any advice would be welcomed.
Many Thanks.
