Do you have to be connected usb or can you run across your network?

Like suggested an external raid enclousure is the best bet. Easiest would be a NAS, (network attached storage) you can buy them almost preconfigured and plug and play. Read the reviews on Newegg, not all of them support time machine.

Or you can build your own, it will take a bit more space and energy, if you want to go that route, I have a mb with raid, cpu, ram and case that I can give you. You would need your own drives and power supply. It is older hardware, but it would work for what you need.

For my home system, I run a raid 10 with a raid 5 nas for backup. Overkill for a pc that I just surf and play games on, but I really hate losing any data!
