Norton Ghost v 15.0 Backup complete harddrive

Hi There

 

I've just purchased Ghost v 15 and am looking for some advise please. I've been reading posts but am finding conflicting information.

 

I want to backup my whole, complete hd to an external hd via USB cable. I want to do this in case something should happen to my desktop PC (fire, flood, catatrosphic disk failure) and I need to install everything, files, folders, programs, etc. to be exactly how the PC was before the 'incident'. Is this possible? I've read that yes it is, however, the software box specifies only Iomega, Zip and Jaz drives. The box also mentions backs up to USB drives, but is that only the small flashdrives? Or does that mean an external hd attached via USB?

 

Thanks in advance for any help/advise
