That depends on your goal. Some backups are easy to use and write a 
series of media good for restoring the whole data set. Some methods have 
independent volumes which make restoring an individual file easier.

In either case, if these data have value, you might want to look at 
dvdisaster, which adds software error correction to the data, and raises 
your chances of being able to get your data back as the medium ages.
