Yep, and USB external hard drives are even cheaper per GB.
Here in Australia an 8G USB stick retails for around AU$50, while a 250G
2.5" external HDD is around AU$140 by comparison (about 1/10 the cost
per GB).

I've had good results using Clonezilla for complete backup of OS+data.
Is there any compression? Does it span multiple CDs if necessary?
It does an image copy and knows enough about most filesystems to only
copy the used portions of the disk. Yes it compresses, no it doesn't
split - or write CD's directly. It lets you store the image in a
variety of places (network mount via samba, NFS, or ssh), local disks
which could be USB external, etc.). After the image is stored, you can
use a command line to convert the image to a bootable DVD image
containing clonezilla and the image. But it doesn't split and you have
to use some other utility to burn the DVD. It would probably work
pretty well to install clonezilla to boot from a large USB disk where
you could store images directly and restore from them.
With usb sticks becoming so cheap that's a viable option, then. Thanks
Anne
