backpup client computer

I want to completely backup a laptop about (25 Gb).

Which is the best way?

I was thinking about usung ntbackup on the win2000 client

save it on a file on the server (in a folder not backed up daily)

run once in a while a backup job on the server which saves that folder on
the tape.

This way can I easily restore the computer in case of disk failure?

Thanks for your help,
Filippo

1) you never backup a client
2) you cannot simply restore from backup

What to do.....put all data on server...period. Ghost the laptop. If it
goes down, reimage the laptop (about 15 minutes) and the data is already
backed up on the server. Ghost is about $25 and an External USB is your
friend.
