Norton Ghost or any program of that type that does real time back ups will not work. If you are looking to back up the dell recovery partition, it is not located on your windows drive or even in any folder in C:\. it is a completely different partition. You could use partition magic or symantec ghost where you could use a boot disk. then you can be able to back up the dell partition which should be significantly smaller in size than your primary windows partition. If you use symantec ghost server, you can clone the entire drive including ALL partitions on that drive- this is what we do at my IT dept at work.

If you have successfully cloned the working partition, there is no need for the recovery partition. You already have a backup The only time Dell's restore partition is used is if you use Dell's recovery discs. If you use the ones you made, there is no need for it.
