Interesting tip. I find it more convenient to backup to the server that I have set up in my house. It's faster and easier. But if you don't have an external or network hard drive, then that would be a viable solution.
If you are going to do that, why not just run your CD burning program, select the files you want to back up and create the CD. You don't need that backup program if you are limited to one CD as you would have to select what to backup anyway.
That is basically what I do with mine, except I use a data DVD for backups.
One other note, many have the Windows XP CD burning option turned off for their burner as it will interfere with some CD burning software functions.
