I really think regular Ghosting to CD or hard drive plus manual backups of
important stuff that changes a lot is the best solution for a situation
like this. I always ghost PCs I manage even if there are other solutions
in place, such as legado. Ghost is cheap, easy and doesn't take a rocket
scientist to dump or restore. If volatile data is on a seperate partition,
then this solution becomes even easier and more reliable.
