So I've got an HP Microserver N40L with WHS2011. I sort of realized that I don't have the server itself backed up, though. It seems like I can only do that on an external drive, and doing so wipes the drive? Is there a recommended thing to use for that, should I just get a big flash drive and plug it in regularly?
The server is on a 60GB partition on a 250GB drive, if that helps any.

So I tried to do this with a USB flash drive and it wasn't even offered as an option for backups. I'm guessing I need to use something else, then?

I have a 3TB Seagate Deathstar that's throwing up Reallocated Sector SMART warnings. Is there any new hotness in drives I should be looking for/avoiding, or should I just find a nice drive on sale and toss it in?
