No, we just don't care about that stuff.  I know, it sounds crazy, but the 
registry would be useless to us in a disaster recovery scenario.  We do make 
Emergency disks once a month though.

We don't use a Windows server for more than 1 purpose (web server, database 
server, etc...) so a recovery would be *as simple as* re-loading Windows, 
re-installing IIS (on a web server for instance), restore files needed from 
tape and then patch the system with the latest patches.

On our Linux/Solaris boxes, it's a different & better strategy.
