Thanks for all the replies. One last question. I have taken a look at 
overclockers.co.uk and seen this:
Adaptec AAR-1210SA SATAConnect Serial ATA Controller (CC-012-AD)
<http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_SATA_RAID_424.html>
Is this the sort of thing that I need to be able to connect sata hard drives 
to a machine that only supports ide please? Is there a recommended hard drive 
out there!

On the backup side of things I already have a 250 gig firewire drive so I 
simply intend to set up a cron job to do the work overnight!

Thanks
