CD's backup is cool but will take forever.
You don't need to backup the operating system just your 'data'.
By data I mean all your documents (text, spreadsheets, etc.) and media (pictures and video)
I just have a huge external USB drive (they are relatively cheap) I have a 1TB I bought a few years back, you can get bigger ones now but I backup about once a year and haven't used even half of it yet.

I pretty much just grab my whole 'documents' and 'pictures' folders and drag them to the external drive, done.

If you have a bunch of videos you may need more storage.
