I would use clonezilla (http://clonezilla.org/) to make a "initial system image" (its really partimage and DD wrapped up in a series of easy scripts) or you can use redo as a live cd (http://redobackup.org/) which is a great disk cloning tool, but it does not play nice with windows file systems, or at least i have not figured it out yet. Then you can use rsync to keep your critical user files backed up (even across multiple systems to a central location) and you now have wicked fast disaster recovery.
