For the last 10 years or so, I've had the wonderful duty of taking a set of backups offsite each night and bringing another set back in the morning. I started using a waterproof insulated lunchbox and used that for a year or two, but it was too soft to protect against drops and it looked like crap. For the past 8 years I've been using a laptop case, which protects against drops and weather, but it's too large and I end up using it as a purse(I'm a guy so thats generally a bad thing) and it's style is outdated.
What does everyone else use? An offsite service is out of the question, our data must be maintained in the building or in my possession. I need something that can hold two DLT's and two 3.5" Hard drives and another item about 5x5x1.5. I don't really want a standard brief or attache case, I would like something small and lightweight and lockable would be nice. It would be great if i didn't have to carry a 10 pound laptop case(before i fill it with crap) or brief case. Most brief cases are ~ 18x14x4.5 when 12x12x3 would be ideal for my use. Am I asking for too much?
