I haven't used a CDRW for backup but there is a data limitation; most CDs only hold 600MB of data. Even my modest hard drive had 6GB, or ten CDs worth. With Ghost and a backup drive, you spend less than $200 to have a solution where you produce a perfect copy of your hard drive (a cheap 20-30GB hard drive is about $110 and Ghost is $70, I think). Ghost runs under DOS so all Windows settings are captured faithfully in about 20 minutes in my case. I usually start it when I go to bed then reboot to Windows the next day.
