I've taken the rather circuituous routeof creating a share on the USB drive in question when plugged into a Vista laptop, then mounting and copying files wirelessly over. Not ideal, but a backup via any route is a backup.

Interesting what you mention about power though. I have a single USB cable for my drive. I'm wondering if it doesn't draw enough from the USB at the front of my tower (FreeBSD box)...

Anyway, I'm going to get this backup done, upgrade to 7.1 and try and get k3b to 'see' growisofs, thus avoiding some of the need for the USB drive.
