1) The backup can be stored on your disk, in the secure partition which is
not visible to Windows XP / Vista. On the screenshot below it is shown as
"Logical Disk - Unknown (BC) and has no drive letter:

2) Another method is to store the backup on an external hard drive. USB
drive is not a good idea because they are not very reliable.

That's right. The backup copy has it's own mini-OS (it doesn't need
Windows). You boot into the external drive (or into the secure partition)
and follow the prompts.
My Windows XP takes about 8 GB of disk space and restoring all this from
Acronis secure partition takes about 4 minutes.
