Question about external hard drives?

Question

I'd like to get an external drive to back up my laptop's 500 gb drive. After looking at many I still can't figure which would be the best for my needs. My internal drive has about 90 gb on it now, but I plan to do a fair amount of photo & video editing. I mainly use my pc at home, so I don't know if makes a difference - portable or desktop model. If possible, I'd use that drive in the event the internal crashed.

What I'd like to do:
1/. Backup the internal drive completely (personal files, applications & OS).
2/. Get a reliable brand.
3/. Do routine backups automatically.
4/. When not doing backups, just keep it in a drawer for emergency use.

Many manufacturers make external hard drives with a one button backup feature. Basically, you push a button on the external drive and it runs a backup of files you specify automatically.
