I use Ghost 7.5 at work and run the images off a network share. At home I
use Ghost 2003 and store my images on DVD/CD. (You can split an image
accross multiple disks - Ghost does this automatically for you.)
Ghost does not support writing to DVD-RW disks for my CD writer though
(Sony). +RW's work ok and -R disks work ok. No problems with CD-RW's or
CD-R disks.
I've not tested ghost 7 or 7.5 for creating images to CD.
NB - You use ghost to create the image directly onto the CD using a special
boot disk. You also have the option to copy the boot files to the CD/DVD
when your finished.
Hope this helps!
