This is lousy design on the part of Symantec.. it should warn you if
files created would overwrite existing files.. Most file compression
utilities use the original archive name, followed by some numerical
designation to make spanned archives, so why the switch to 8.3 naming
convention on the SUBSEQUENT span files?


Cause you need that when restoring from DOS. Plus, Ghost images are also
created in DOS mode if they didn't change that recently.

My question:
Is there any way to force Ghost to recover the other 14 volumes of my
drive?

No.


Optimistically: does Ghost "back up" a file before unceremoniously
overwriting it?

No.
