There is a missing piece in terms of recreating the
partitions/filesystems/raids to match the system you want to recreate,
unless you have already automated that with tuned kickstart files or
all of your systems are identical.   The ReaR tool I mentioned in
another post will create a script to re-create an existing system.

For Windows systems, I'd use Clonezilla images as the base, but that
does take extra time and disk space to maintain.
