Hi,
  Have you looked at mkCDrec ?
From their website:-
  mkCDrec makes a bootable (El Torito) disaster recovery
   image (CDrec.iso), including backups of the linux system
   to the same CD-ROM (or CD-RW) if space permits, or to a
   multi-volume CD-ROM set. Otherwise, the backups can be
   stored on another local disk, NFS disk or (remote) tape.
I've used it and it is great both for disaster recovery and for
cloning/migrating a Linux a system
   See http://mkcdrec.ota.be/
Regards,
   Neil Harsant
