Sounds good, but remember, test your backup.  Make sure you can
read/restore from this file the way you want to.  How many horror stories
have we all heard about untested backups being unreadable or blank?

Ideally, you could test with a spare hard drive of the same (or slightly
larger) size.  Swap the current drive with the spare and restore your
Windows system from your backup media.  (I know, we don't all have spare
drives...)
