Ghost works most easily when backing up a full drive rather than
just a boot partition (although just the boot partition CAN be
ghosted).

To backup an entire boot drive just be sure to use the -ir switch
(with Ghost operating from Dos on disk, CD, USB drive, etc. and
the main Windows OS not booted). You will need as much room on
the backup media as the original drive (since encryption doesn't
compress).
