What are .nrg and .gho?
the file extension source web site says
.NRG Norton Registration Entries
Nero CD-Image
IsoBuster File
and
.GHO Symantec Ghost Disk Image File
Is this what you are seeing in your environment?
I can understand the cd images, but not the ghost files. (I know a couple
of NT admins that would be really peeved if their ghost images were blown
away and irretrievable!

There is only one thing that will convince the beancounters that backup
resources must be kept to adequate levels:
one bad day
Put your objections in email, send that email to those who matter, and
*keep* *a* *copy*. Gently (but regularly) remind the powers-that-be that
your backup resources are inadequate.
In the meantime, aggressively filter what is being backed up. An
increasingly large amount of data is going to files with extensions like
.nrg, .wmf, .mp3, .rm, and .gho (my current unfavorite). Don't back 'em up.
