I've been successful with full restores (haven't tested ASR enough to say).
Did you select to include the System State in the backup? That's a
necessity. I'm not sure why else your last case would have failed unless
there were file errors in the restore.
All in all, disk imaging software is preferable to ntbackup, but it should
work. I don't the reliability of tapes and strongly recommend rotating
multiple tapes if that's your backup mechanism.
