Microsoft recommends backing up the entire server including the System
State. For Windows 2003 ASR would be a way to restore the server quickly.
There is also an option in CA Management Console to backup CA. I would be
sure to test each option out to see what best works for your needs. The link
below provides more information. --- Steve
