John,

Are you more concerned with data or restoring the system or both?

Here is a MS KB article on backing up the system state in W2K:

I have a small business and use batch files ( Like Mike) to backup company data from all the clients to my servers and also to my home server via VPN. I'm in a Domain environment so I am also concerned about backing up the system state of each DC. The article above explains this. But with any domain having at leat 2 DC's is a must unless you want to rebuild your entire domain from scratch if your only DC were to fail.
