I have a 45 gig HD with about 3 gigs on the drive. I want to back up the stuff on the drive with ghost, does it just back up the 3 gigs used or does it backup the intire empty space also, I really dont want to have to partition the drive and dont want to back up a bunch of empty space. I want to back up directly to a CD.
Thanks

I've never used that version but I've used several others and none of them back up the empty space if you are going to an image file. Just the data. I have a 20G partition that is not very full and have no problem backing it up to a 5G drive with any versions I've tried.

However, if you do a drive to drive copy I believe it will give you an error that the destination drive is too small.

I am glad! thank you very much, I sure did not want a whole bunch of backup disks with nothing on them.
