Any way to backup my files w/ USB external HD and Super Duper?

Thanks Dave--
I think I understand, but just to be sure (since I'm new to the backup software scene), is this correct: I can use Super Duper to back up my files and programs to my external HD via a USB cord, I just can't use it as a startup drive (which I'd only need to do if my system crashed on my main HD). I can also use Super Duper to back up my files and programs to a series of DVDs, and if my system crashed I COULD reboot from those. Is this correct at all?

Thanks so much for the quick response and the help!
