In GNOME you just insert blank media, it opens a file manager like window, you drag the folders you want into it, and click on the write button. Their might be the odd extra step like saying "Data CD" but it is about as easy as it will ever get. You can tell this is one of the "use cases" that has received serious developer attention. Alas on my CD writer (sigh) this results in files full of zeros on the coaster burnt, but for most people (and hardware) it works fine. Still as well to check it is working, but then that applies to any backup scheme.
