A lot of people recommend mondo-rescue.  I think it creates a bootable
CD/DVD and you can restore from there.  I have never used this but it
gets mentioned a lot.

Also, just look around in app-backup and see what you can find.  You may
find something that better suites your needs. 

For me, I use Kbackup to back up my data, portage tree, and config files
that I can use to rebuild from.  It works well enough for me.  It will
even size the tarballs to fit on the CD/DVD too.  This would mean
recompiling everything again but that's just me.

Most of this will depend on what you are needing to backup, whether you
want a command line tool or GUI and a few other odds and ends.
