Backup Question for G4

I have a G4 350 Mhz, 512 SDram running on OS 10.3.9. I am wondering what are my best options for backup. I got this computer used and wondering about my options. No chuckling if you think I need to update my computer. I am planning on updating my system. Thanks for your help.

Did you purchase a .mac account? Backup3 comes with it.. and that is pretty good...

I personally would buy an extra hard drive and stick it in there (I'm assuming this is a G4 tower). You can then back up the data as needed using a number of different software back up solutions.

I use a 300GB Seagate external Firewire drive. I use SilverKeeper (came free with my other LaCie drive but you can download it) to do backup copies overnight.
