Have you tested restoration? I can find tons of image based backup stuff for Windows that will make an image, very few that will actually restore that image successfully without one problem or another.

I agree with Shadow Protect. I have restored literally hundred of times because I basically use it to image new PCs. I make a backup of a base machine. Then use their USB boot utility to make a USB boot disk. that will boot you in to a WinPE environment with shadowprotect running. browse to whatever restore point you want, it will find all the images that are needed in the chain and restore - it is very fast and very reliable. You can restore to a completely blank disk and be exactly where you left off.

Otherwise, it all you need are individual files, you can mount up your restore point as a drive letter. Then just copy and paste files.

Using their image manager program, you can control the retention and consolidation schedule for your incrementals.
