I wouldn't say they're any easier to lose than a floppy disc. Probably your best choice for smaller backups.

Another viable option for smaller backups would be FTP'ing them to another system. There is software that creates a drive on your computer that actually just uses Google E-Mail's storage to store your files. The major limit being that you can't have individual files bigger than 20MB.

Might be something to consider.

However, if you plan to backup several gigabytes, I also recommend an external hard drive. DVD's would be a good option too if you never need to change the backups.
