I've been waiting too long to properyly set up Time Machine on my iMac, and now it tells me it needs at least 160 Gb of storage to use it.  So I either need to aquire a fireproof usb drive of at least 200 Gb or I need to subscribe to an online remote site backup service.  I'm open to suggestions, but right now I'm either buying a ioSafe Solo USB drive or subscribing to dollydrive.com.  Dollydrive.com would be $10 per month and the ioSafe USB drive would be $279 if I bought it new.

I also found an actual firesafe with a usb port that permits the owner to put a regular usb external drive into the firesafe and use a USB extension cord to connect the computer, but that runs about $500 for just the firesafe.
