Not a problem! I got turned on to the small USB external housing recently. Costs about $20 at Frys or less on Ebay and turns an internal hard drive into an external backup device.
I have a you know what load of internal drives sitting around the house that I am not using, so pop one of those inside the USB housing and plug it into the desktop. Then back up everything on TWO hard drives (never trust just one) and that way I have the video on the desktop computer and two separate external hard drives.
Everything is sent via WiFi from the TIVO to the desktop then to another drive on the weekly backup. Videos are not deleted from the TIVO until they are secure upstairs on the server and backup disks.
I am a backup fool now but this happened after losing part of my data years ago. Never again...
