Also, it's good practice to adb shell when in recovery and run the following before a backup:

format DATA:
format CACHE:
format SYSTEM:

One comment on Fabulous' good advice - if you're using the update.zip, don't format data unless you want to have to set up all your programs/settings again...the key feature of an update.zip ROM is that you get to keep your programs, settings, and data.

If you're doing a nandroid restore, then formatting data is fine, since it'll get blown away anyway.
