I thought that NTFS had a number of things like non-Unixy file permissions and alternate file streams that tar is not aware of and can't replicate. I also thought that Windows still has a few things that require absolute sector positions, like the swapfile. If it's possible to back up a Windows-on-NTFS drive with mount and tar, that's great--but I thought it was unlikely.
I have usually used partimage to back up and restore Windows partitions. That works. The downside is that it only does a partition at a time....
