It might backup to the usb device but will also backup to CD/DVD devices
as well. The plus side is you can create a boot media (CD/DVD) for
restore purposes. Boot to the CD and run BackupEdge to restore to a new
disk and simply reboot to a running system. I believe you can buy a
non-commercial use licence for around $90US. The download non-crippled
version can be used for 60 days for testing.
