Not an answer to your question, but we are - using raid-1s for system disks, - using SSDs for system disks, - dd'ing the system disk before the machine goes into service and keeping the copy on the shelf, - backing up /etc and crontabs and not caring about the rest of /. I'll pick any of the above over a bare metal recovery from a backup system (SSD being the best option ATM).
