In the future, if you have a need to backup an OS for possible later use i suggest looking at clonezilla. it will back up to Internal drive, usb, nfs, smb, or ftp and it uses dd to make a low level backup of your drive and partclone to map your partition layout and will do just about every Os i have run into including mac.
An its not Microsoft, its the OEM vendors not shipping media, you can order replacement media usually for 10-20 bux to cover S&H ect if you grumble enough they will sometimes just send it to you. and even then your 50/50 odds at getting restore media as opposed to install media.
