I use Acronis and have for about 5 years and have done a bare metal
recovery a couple of times. It provides an option of creating a
bootable CD with enough smarts to allow you to pull your backup from
an external drive. It has multiple options for backup and recovery.
I swear by it.

The Win 7 backup, if it matches what you can do with Win Server
2008 R2, can create a "Bare Metal" recovery to an external drive.
You could do it to a DVD, but it would take a bunch of them.
Anyway, to recover, you start a Windows Install. After it boots,
you can select the recovery option and then recover from the bare
metal backup. No need to install anything before you recover. Not
sure if the image created is bootable. I forget at the moment.
I have not verified that this works, but then I did not want to
scrap all the work I had done with the servers up to that point,
so I will wait until I need it to see how things work out in that
case. Trusting MS gives me the creeps, but the way they keep
changing things, I am not sure the third parties are going to do
all that much better.

Thanks Tom! I like the idea of having a bootable backup. If
the drive dies having a backup aint a lot of good if ya can't
boot up. Thats what I do with the Mac too. I have an ongoing
incremental backup via time capsule and a separate bootable
clone.
I just didn't know what to do with a window machine.
