There is a "gotcha" which took me a whole day to figure out and it's that you MUST ensure that when you re-install WindowsXP you have to update it to the same service pack (eg: SP2) as the backup... no problem if your WindowsXP installation disc is already at SP2.
To JOd:
And if your install CD is at SP-1 but you had SP-2 installed (which is likely) then you need to create a new install CD that has SP-2 slipstreamed into it. Google should find you plenty of articles on how to slipstream.

JOd didn't mention using EFS but if he did then he will still need a copy of the exported EFS certificate in order to use those EFS-protected files after the file restore.
To Andrew:
So the "gotcha" is that ntbackup.exe won't run from SP-1 to do a restore of files that were saved in the .bkf file by the SP-2 version of ntbackup? Doesn't make sense. These are logical backups; i.e., it reads files using the file system and saves them into another file using the file system (as opposed to reading disk sectors to save physical partition images). Are you saying SP-2 ntbackup cannot read the .bkf files created by SP-1 ntbackup?
