Is it safe to use Norton Ghost to backup media files?

I have a lot of media files on my computer, I was wondering if it's safe to use Norton Ghost to backup everything since it takes up less disk space.

Now after I recovered the whole disk partition, will my avi or mp3 files still be accessible?

Thanks.

yep. sure. no problem.

Ghost is traditionally for backing up system drives as it has the capacity to do the whole drive or partition.

I think the issue will be with compression. Media files (jpg, mp3, avi) are already compressed. This means that even if you use maximum compression with Ghost you wont really save much room.

While the files are in the archive, as far as I know they're not accessible (I could be wrong about this aspect though as Ive never tried to access file from an Image)

When you restore the image to the drive or partition, everything should be just as it was when the image was made.
