[pchelpers] Re: waste of time

Pc I do not use Ghost but Disk Image and I use a second hard drive to pack
up my C-drive and E-drive into compressed files. Used it for years and it
works fine. A whole lot cheaper in time to get an extra hard drive than to
mess with 30+ CDs. I suspect if you are making an image it is not going to
be able to see what it is until it writes the index on the last CD. If you
stopped it before that there may be no way of recovering the data.  I know
that Disk Image has to complete by itself otherwise the backup is useless..

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
