You can always create an additional drive or partition via Device Management.

Same stuff, different day!!!

I would say getting more CDs would be the best option because the reason for the backup is if something happens to the hard drive.  Many things that could happen to the hard drive would leave all partitions in jeopardy.  I think you can buy a pack of 50 cds for $10.
