Use of USB drives for recovery

Thread needs solution

I have been using True Image for a number of years now and only to clone my main drive (system and programs) as a backup in case of a crash. I want to change that scheme and deploy the system backup to an external 500GB USB drive. I have read the documentation for True Image 2013 and I could not find that was possible or not. I would like to start using that as a source of restore and boot off a Acronis Recovery Cd and have the USB drive shown as a selection. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, IMO external HDs are the ideal medium for backups and restores.
Do not clone. Do disk/partition backups.
