WRITING A NOVEL what is the best method of backing up my work on my PC?

I doubt a USB of 8GB would suffice for a 60, to 80,000 word novel. I am writing my book on my desktop which has sufficient hard drive, but even with anti-virus, my PC has gone down and i have lost everything on it. I want a good back up in case this happens again.
I am saving my work to disc but it is 'read-only' and so i am unable to edit the work.(something i constantly do) so i want some back up system that allows me to edit my work as i go along as well as storing it safely. Are the portable hard drives liable to virus attacks just like desktops and laptops?

Many thanks :-)
