I use a combination of a one-time image and regular backups of the files that can be accessed. So far it seems to work well enough, knock on wood.

The combination lets you have the disaster image *plus* files if you need them. Restoring is a matter of replacing the image, then replacing all the files it will let you write, and crossing your fingers. Surely someone sells NT backup solutions? -Tom
