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.
