Q: I have two external hard drives attached to my laptop for additional storage. Do any of these storage systems back up external hard drives as well as the internal drive?

A: The only online backup system that we've found to offer backup on external drives is Mozy. Mozy earned a five-star rating when we reviewed it. While not quite as inexpensive as Carbonite, at only $4.95 per month (minus an additional 10% discount), it's well worth it. You can even try it out free with a 2GB storage cap to make sure it's right for you.
