Laptop tragedy

[darkfyre_muse]

Help oh gurus of the technical world!
I currently am in possession of a functional laptop, boots logs-in launches software, that has a nonfunctional screen. And like all great procrastinators I put off my back-up. (I now have 320GB of external space, this will NOT happen again.) Is there a way to hook it to a external monitor to run the back-up OR back it up without seeing the screen.

There's a Levitating Plywood list? Alas I can not attend as I'm in PA for a wedding. Camp planning is coming nicely. I might be able to have someone down here haul the bike. We'll see. My summer is crazy busy, so a trip North might be difficult. More news later.
