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.
