Not entirely. Ideally, a disk image would be used to redeploy another computer in the case of an critical OS failure. You would restore it in the case of Norton Ghost by inserting the disk, Ghost will then activate from that disk and allow you to restore that image. Now if you create the image, storing it on a high capacity network drive would be a good option since it allows you to retrieve multiple images from one location to perform a remote restoration. The benefits of this method allow you to back up multiple drive images, and deploy functioning computers much quicker than reformatting a hard drive, downloading and installing each hardware driver. At one company I worked for, we serviced 10 different desktop models. In addition to having a lot of DVDs, we also had each image stored on the network. So if Windows shit the bed, we'd say a short prayer that they were saving to their home folder on the DC like they're supposed to and send a signal to perform a network boot and restore the latest image for their model computer.
