Image Backups over a network?

While we've been on the subject of backing up and restoring of partitions
over a network with parted and the like, I came up with a question. I
would like to back up an image of one of my windows boxes to a CD ROM.
Two things here: The machine machine I want to backup does not have a CD
burner of its own; the image will most likely require several disks to
complete the job. I have a copy of Norton Ghost but I don't think it can
backup over a network, plus it is *windows* so I'm wondering if there is a
linux solution out there. I suppose I could use dd to off load the
machine's image, I don't know if I have enough disk space on my linux box
to hold a 10 gig image however.
Any ideas out there?
