[olug] Backup of Windows workstation(s) to Linux server...

[Jay Swackhamer]

they are not 2.5inch drives, but

Compusa has drives listed from $109-$150 for 40gig external USB hard drives

here's a 120gig for $99 after rebates ($199 actual) good through 9/30
but you'd have to call and see when they will have them back in stock
