We bought one of the USB enclosures and a 15gig drive but we have ben unable
to find any retore software that will work with the USB connection. It seems
that USB only works under Windows and all the software packages that will
restore a whole drive run under DOS. Do you know of any solution to this
problem?

You can purchase an IDE/ATA hard drive and an external USB drive
enclosure, using a 8gig drive.  The drives are currently around $100
and the enclosure will cost about $85.  Basically, you will have an
external hard drive for backup purposes that will cost you about $200.
This external drive can be any size that is currently available on the
market...  so you can not only use it for a backup of your notebook,
but also for additional storage for files and data.

There are other options, but I would recommend using an external hard
drive in a USB enclosure.   It will be the fastest and cheapest solution.
