Outgrown current backup system

178 100+
Hi,

Currently I am using yosemite software and 180gb tapes to backup my system. 3 monthly, 3 weekly and 4 daily tapes. Now I have outgrown this capacity and need an alternative solution. I don't like the thought of using online backup as it would take forever to get all this data backed up. I am toying with the idea of using 500gb portable hard drive instead. Has anyone a better solution or know if portable hard drives are a suitable solution?

Thanks in advance

Well, what are your goals in the backup? Are you just looking to capture specific files, or do you want full disk images?
