Craig,
I have a 160 gig USB external drive that I use for backups. My older server is a USB 1.0 and laptop is USB 2.0. It works fine with both of these as well as an 4 year old laptop that is one of the first USB applications.
You will notice about a 50% speed difference in the 1.0 vs 2.0 but who cares? I start the transfer of data then head to dinner or even do it while you are sleeping. Just let it run and it will backup everything fine. You can put a 2.0 USB card in your desktop and make it run faster but its not mandatory.
