Ok so what I am doing is backing up to "/cdrom" which should put any changes I have made (including applications / downloads" onto my pendrive in the file called backup.tar.gz.

I assume this is correct - I"ve been fiddling  around - I'm in the process of "backing up" using the above stated method - so far it has been taking a few minutes and the backup/restore window has become unresponsive.

In the case of liveCD or other frugally installed systems, if you choose to ignore the recommendations of the separation of mydsl apps (write once/read many) and the backup of user data files (write and read upon each boot) and  include mydsl applications in your backup.tar.gz then your backup will indeed take a very long time.
