Now, it is often easier to carry around a usb flash drive which gives higher data sizes, speed, r/w, and easier to carry. Buy a new one every 6 months and that is an ok non-enterprise local backup.
My main problem with optical at this point is that the storage capacity and price really haven't kept up with USB Flash Drives. It is also now easier just to buy an external hard drive for live backups.
