You can always boot with a Windows CD, and then all you need is the ASR floppy that has your disk configuration, and your backup media, whether tape or external hard disk.Not bad if it works. I've never seen anyone successfully restore a windows box though without having tons of issues with it later (if it was successful at all) though.

We do a test restore at least once a week, and have had to restore production boxes before. A test the other day was of an app server that had Windows, IIS, SQL and Crystal Reports running, that had taken us us about a week to setup and secure it. We did the full restore of the image over the network in 17 minutes, that time including the boot of the recovery CD.

I did an ASR server backup and restore to install larger drives. Worked like a charm. Other than the drive size, it was the same hardware.
