Use a "ghost" program and a USB drive. I won't suggest a program because that would start an argument, but google the terms "ghost backup" and you'll find what you need. I use a 400gb USB drive and partition it for 3 different OSes.

I have two internal HD's already. Will that work if I reformat the slaves?

I'll concur with the ghost suggestion and go further by suggestiong Norton Ghost. I get mine from the Norton SystemWorks CD someone gave me. It gathers dust until I need to install/re-install Ghost. The rest is krill.

I use it all the time to make snaps and clones of all my data on several machines onto an external USB hard drive. Very easy and very handy.
