What kind of backups are we talking about? Do you have lots of music or videos? Or are we just talking about Sims saved games, Word docs and photos?
I was thinking about a couple of pocket-size USB HD's we have that are around $60-100 depending on the size you want (40GB or 100GB), but we also have a regular desktop sized 250GB external which would be better if you have a lot of large files or just a lot of info on your 4 machines.
You may already know this but you don't need to backup the entire HD, just files that you don't have copies of elsewhere. Anything that's re-installable (like programs that you could re-download or that came with the comp and are already on CDs) don't need to be included in your personal backups.
