Windows 2008 / R2 Backups
Today, I was messing around with the windows backup service and created a backup of the system state. When I browsed to the directory I noticed that the actual backup consisted of a bunch of xml files and an actual VHD file. I attached the vhd file using disk manager and guess what, I was able to actually see the stuff in the backup. AWESOME – seems like a very small win but I think it’s a cool one!

Haven't tried it lately but I think if you do a full system state backup the resultant vhd is also bootable!
