You might even just put a HUGE size drive into your Laptop.
Clonezilla, even handled my dual boot drive, where WDtools and MAXblast bombed

I don't disagree with the getting 2 external 1T drives (external drives should have a hot spare as they are like Laptops,,,subject to unintended bouncing )

1T of data moving over USB I had an 18G drive I used with Calibre Portable. It took forever to XCOPY the Library over.

Maybe 1 of those should be a 3T of RAID 1 NAS (Do not Use for the Active LIBRARY. Back that up Only) for your Full time backup. NAS because you get LAN type transfer speed, not choked down by DSL, 3G... based clouds
