I would suggest you to buy Seagate Free Agent GoFlex 2TB SATA external drive costing around 6K bucks in India. It ensures automatic continuous backup of your data Secures your backed up files and protects your privacy with powerful encryption software Includes the Seagate Dashboard management tool for easy management of backup schedules and file encryption, and viewing drive statistics.
