    I finally choosen to burn the backup files on cds.
    It worked apparently well but it s a bit strange cos my harddisk used space is 3.74 GB and the backup fit in only 4 cds.
    So I m not sure if all my programs my setting and tweaks were saved. I wonder if I didnt just saved my OS and nothing more.
    Could someone tell please.

    i have never used ghost to back up before so this is a guess...maybe it uses compression?
