You can get a 32 GB thumb drive for under $10. Or a 32 GB SD card, which you can put in a cell phone (one of the places where I have all my important stuff backed up), and keep it with you, avoiding things like a fire destroying both PC and backup device.

The difference in sizes is that a GB is actually powers of 2 rather than of ten. That is, (1024 * 1024 * 1024), not (1000 * 1000 * 1000).
