On a related note... Does someone have a recommendation for home Windows bare-metal restore system? I use BackupPC which is great for backing up data and does just fine for Linux restores but is not reported to work well for Windows system/program (registry!) restores. I've tried Acronis True Image which seems to work very well against local storage but I'm not going to pay at home for a network level backup system. I consider this question appropriate for BBLISA because, probably like many others here, I have a bias towards running my home system the way I run my work system: minimal effort and I don't want to deal with individual machines. I also use BackupPC at work in a several hundred VM environment and can definitely recommend it.
