For what?
I disagree with Jim. If your dataset allows for it and you maintain
multiple copies and OFFSITE storage as we do with tapes, I think USB
drives make a lot of sense.
One thing to consider (this works well in virtualized environs) is
custom boot CDs that throw system images out to an NFS or SMB mount -
perhaps the USB drive itself) and use other backup software to do
fulls/incrementals.
The key, as will all backups, is managing your media, testing restores,
and discipline in checking logs.
