Can you make backups of Ghost CD sets?

There must be a trick somewhere.

We use Ghost to make "sysprepped" images of hard disks to 3-CD sets.
This has worked flawlessly for us.

For the first time, we went to make a *copy* of one of the sets (so we
could do a couple of installs at one time.

Only Disk 2 (of 3) would make a SCSI copy (trying either Toast 5.2 on a
Mac or the current 5.4 (?) of Easy CD Creator.) On all machines we
tried to copy the disks with, Disk 1 and Disk 3 would fail each time.
Yet the images work just fine to install to computers.


Is there something about how much data gets copied in the *initial*
ghosting that's keeping this from working? I saw a couple of postings
about "overburning" the CDs. Might that be it?

it's especially weird in that "Disk 3" is -- by no means -- a full CD.
It's maybe 1/3 full at that.


Any suggestions here would be helpful!
