Ghost has always been a sweet program, though it too is an intensive program always pushing the limits on boxes. Again most people do not know how to configure it properly and think they are secure against loss far more then they actually are.
I've been booting to usb thumbdrives for years as part of my computer sevice arsenal, most pc's since the 98 standards will boot to it with a lil tweaking of the bios.
Basically every single suggestion in this thread is appropriate to some degree.
For the Windows users that can afford it a 2k cluster is even more fault tolerant.
It all comes down to the fact, if it's vital you had better have some type of redundancy in place. And the amount of back up protection you need rises with how critical is that data if you lose it, along with how fast you need to recover it if you do lose it.
