I would not use it to back up 100GB of a system. Use it for the OS disk.
Recently I had to install two new desktop machines with SLED (suse
enterprise desktop).
As soon as I had them working I attached a USB DVD drive and made a
Mondo Rescue backup.
Just pressing the default options worked OK, and each machine backed
up to a single DVD.
