Backup and Restore question.....

My media library is getting pretty sizable now. I was wondering if/what any of you use a backup package of some sort and what it is... what is the best or the best way?

I have been looking at picking up a copy of Norton Ghost to create drive images of my drives. Is this the best way? I know smiley lives by norton ghost and your input would be appreciated here also smiley on norton ghost. One problem I have been reading is that since norton took over Power Quest it's product has become unreliable. I want reliable over frills. I want to be able to make an image thru windows if that's possible and restore thru windows also if I can without having to boot up to a disk... I at least want the option.

My machine has an 80 gig sata drive as it's primary with 2 250 gig and one 400 gig as storage. I want to create an image of the primary and the secondary drives backing that up to DVD. Am I on track? Is there a better way? My OS is windows xp/media center.

Thanks guys. any help will be appreciated.
