Backing up Movie collection onto my Mac

Looking for an inexpensive way of making backups of my movies and storing them somewhere safe, just in case one gets damaged. Any advice would be appreciated.

Buy a hard disk. Maybe 1TB Western Digital (about €100 on Amazon uk)
- download MacTheRipper and rip all your movies onto the drive...
- If you want to shrink the file sizes down, use Handbrake to rip the DVDs (about 800 mb each)
- after your done, store the hard disk in another household so your backups will be safe even if the originals go walkabout!
