All right, if you want to post links to all the ways in advance (I was kind of going to avoid doing this before we knew what exactly the OP wished to do):

There's there's ways of doing it using an external hard drive, or a networked external drive.
Have fun reading all those. Or maybe just tell us a bit about your setup and needs mjb51 and we can stop blasting you with all the solutions.
