Backing Up with a Flash Drive:

Sure, but it would have to have enough storage in it, and they typically go for more cash for the same capacity as an external drive. I would suggest sticking with an External Hard Drive, being they are rugged and more durable.

Of course you can. But my opinion is you'll be far better served with an actual hard drive. External of course. My experience with cards for data transfer and storage is rather dismal. And, I'm not alone. Cards are to finicky (search posts here about them not being recognized) and easily misplaced.

If you data is that valuable, then I'd definitely suggest an HDD; a pair in fact more added data security. Setting up TimeMachine for back-up (or your app of choice) is an excellent opportunity to gain the expertise you need to be a competent modern computer user.
