I'd definitely have to side with the external hard drive scenario.
While USB thumbdrives are real nice for the size they have a limited
lifespan and can lose data much easier than a hard drive from
electromagnetic interference.
I still prefer Linus Torvalds' quote, "Only wimps use tape backup:
_real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest
of the world mirror it ;)"

To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so
many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled -
because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too
cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are
called patience and forbearance.
