Ghost does *not* have support for *any* Linux filesystem. It does
compression on the fly, which is how one can fit a 1.6G partition's image
into a .5 GB partition. Perhaps for other Windows filesystems it can do
files, but at least last time I tried Ghost (ca. 9 months ago) there was no
real support for other filesystems and for them it did the equivalent of:
dd if=/dev/hdb2 | gzip > disk.img
