You'll find that when you are restoring from a backup image on DVD's or CD's that Ghost will ask you do do a lot of swapping of them back and forth.  That's normal (but annoying).  If you have a separate DVD drive from the CD drive, that helps some.

Did you backup directly to DVD or to a different hard drive first?

Also, I usually select normal compression.  Never had a problem with that and tends to make the backup image files smaller.

Standard compression is good.  I read in one of your earlier posts you said you used no compression which makes the image files bigger.

Even if you have a CD drive as well as an additional DVD drive, you will still get prompts from switching DVD's.  Part of the reason is that the final directory of what is on the DVD's is (I think) on the last DVD.  So Ghost seems to want to check the directory (last DVD) and then look in other DVD's for the restore.  The effect is that Ghost will ask for 1st DVD, then last DVD, then first DVD and back and forth several times.  If you are patient enough it will eventually work.

That's why many backup to an external USB2 drive which is physically separate from the pc, and then periodically copy the split images to DVD's which are really cheap now.  That is what I do and the DVD's are a 2nd layer of backup protection failure.  Better yet is to keep the DVD's at some other location so if someone steals your pc (or you have a fire, flood, earthquake, hurricane, etc.) and everything in the office, you still have a backup.

Glad to help.  There are many good experts that frequent this forum and post frequently.  Just by reading their comments I have learned a lot.

The .SV2I file "should" also be copied onto the first DVD disc in the set, according to the Norton Ghost 9.0 User’s Guide (pages 36-37).
