I've done this same thing okay. (except for the extra reg bu)
You should be fine, NTBackup is nice because you don't need to
shutdown like Ghost.
I just did a restore using Acronis True Image and it ran beautifully.
With it you can make a boot cd and run the restore immediately without
reloading windows first. You can make a boot floppy and do this with
NTBackup also.
