Not recently. Isle of Man broadband is far from broad. I think it would be painfully slow.Have you thought about online storage?

George,
There are a couple of very affordable NAS solutions at the moment:
The Buffalo Terastation is great if you need RAID5 (4 drives in one enclosure). Misco do them for around £400 - which isn't bad at all.
Netgear also do a RAID1 device which looks a bit like a little toaster Not expensive and is bought without drives. You just buy a couple and plug them in. Can get the model number if you want... EDIT: SC101 and SC101T (Turbo).
BTW, there aren't problems with IRQs - the IRQs are shared. It's not like the old 80286 days (and prior!).

I believe firewire external drives can be daisychained, though you would still need power cables to each drive.

I don't expect to be burgled, or for the house to burn down, so I think that the most convenient way to safely store data is on hard disks, with each original file on one set of disks and a copy on another.
The house didn't burn down, but the PSU developed a fault and caused a fire inside the case, which trashed both disks, and vented a lot of smoke out through the exhaust fan.
Personally, I wouldn't use the word "safely" in conjunction with any solution that has all the data inside one case. Or even one building, really - but you pays your money and you takes your choice. There's no single right answer to this one, sadly. Like how good a picture is, "safe enough" is very much in the eye of the beholder.
