Before evaluating Symantec/Norton Ghost to image partitions, I have a couple of questions about using this tool:

In the product page, it only mentions Windows: Can Norton image Linux partitions as well?
Can I burn an ISO to create/recover images? The ISO's I found seem only able to restore an image but not create one. Does it mean that images can only be created from within a running Windows?
For Windows partitions: Does it support both regular and Server versions? Acronis doesn't image Server partitions in the regular version
When restoring an image, does Norton give the option of including/excluding the MBR?

Thank you.
