Sure, you can either send the backup over the network to the box that 
has the usb drive, or move the drive.

I backup 7 computers to this one drive.

Now, I'm not sure why the reference to 80 GB, are you wanting to backup 
80 GB on 3 computers?  Sure, but you'll be there a while.  I've not 
tried to backup that much data though.

If you have those kind of backup requirements, you'll probably want 
something faster then usb.
