DVD-RAM in DOS and GHOST

[Stiganator]

I am backing up some ghost files and was wondering if I can restore and back up to my DVD-RAM from ghost (which is dos basically). Anyone know of DOS drivers for DVD-RAM? Also I formatted the disk as UDF 2.0, perhaps formatting as fat32 would let it work.

What version of ghost? Is this corporate ghost or home version?

Corporate 8.0

the way i do it is i just backup to harddrive first, then to dvd or cd.
i don't think dos app like that could burn to dvd directly. its pretty old.

what do you mean restore AND backup? is your ghost file too big for one dvd? i tend to keep my o/s partition about 10gb, and don't install games or put media on it so the image doesn't get bigger than one dvd. clean xp+office+sp2 with hibernation turned off in a compressed ghost image takes up less than 700mb. once windows gets bloated its still far below4gb once compressed in ghost. in command line ghost i'm pretty sure theres a switch to set file splitting if it gets too large. i think it actualy does it automatically so it doesn't get past the 2gb? limit of fat32.

Ghost does not support DVD-RAM and I'm doubtful it would work via a seperate DOS driver which itself may not be available (with full read/write) for contemporary models. It does of course support R/RW (+RW 8x FTW). FYI by default it splits to 1GB parts.
