check I was not mis-remembering -- two seconds at Google turned up this
URL discussing "...the Ghost switches to use for forensic imaging or

G'day Nick,

While you *can* use Ghost to get a complete image, the switches change
from version to version and it's really a PITA to test what does what
when.  Most folks I know if the field have decided there's too much
room for error with Ghost.  Also, it means more to document, which is
bad for the lazy ;).
