You certainly can connect a usb device for backup. If it has enough capacity, it can do the job.

mondo is a tool that can do this.
Also look at kickstart (comes standard with RH)

I have used mkCDRec tool that creats an ISO image on CD or network and it's bootable like make_recovery. Try at http://mkcdrec.ota.be/
