I recently came across a really neat tool called the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

[archive.org...]

I want to save some of the earlier versions of our site that I found to a CD. Is there an easy, one-step way to do this? Is there a tool that will "grab" a Web file & images simultaneously?

The archive is what they found on the net, they don't take submissions.

It is a real cool tool.

As far as I am aware the wayback machine has it's own algorithm for backing up domains and you have no say in the matter...

I assume you checked to see if there were any previous versions of your site?

You can use an offline browser or a mirroring utility (or even the extension Scrapbook for Firefox but with some limitations). The wayback machine blocks/filters some of these utilities (User Agent string or robots.txt), so it is not an easy task.
The majority of offline mirrors can be burned on to a CD.
