Drive imaging software

Looking for drive imaging software. I've used Ghost in the past, but am wondering if a lower cost solution is out there and what if anything I might gain or loose.
Thanks

I would like software that supports dual layer DVD, according to what I've read 5.5 will not burn DL-DVDs. After reading it seems with the new Nero software I can choose which applications to install, so I'm probably going to do that.

Recommendations on CD /DVD burning software

Just bought a new computer with Vista and a DL-DVD burner. I've been using Nero 5.5 for years. I've looked at the new offerings from Nero and Roxio and they both seem to have many features I would not use. So I'm looking for suggestions on new software.

Thanks for any input.
