No, as Shenan said, you'd likely lose settings for recently installed
applications, and other changes that were made to the system since you made
the backup. A full image will, of course, do the same thing. However,
programs like Image for Windows and its companion Image for DOS will work
with re-writable DVD media, so its quite possible that you could image a
system partition onto a couple of DVD's (depending on how much stuff you
had) and not have to go through so many discs.
