really true for any software? Sure, it's easy to just jump into, say, a new wordprocessor without reading the manual, but with any critical program, like any system utility, especially backup / restore utilities, it is really a must to know what you're doing or risk any negative results.

And, Ghost is the program of choice for many PC magazines and review sites; they set up their base / reference system(s) using "stock" drivers, then install the component to be reviewed (say, a video card), install the appropriate drives, do the testing / benchmarking, then the to a "fresh" install by Ghosting the drive back to the "stock" config, and repeat the process with the next component to be reviewed.
