You can backup to disk. You *could* burn that image to DVD.
Basically the same idea as IFM, but IIRC you need working DC's for it to
work off of after it comes on-line.
Virtual server based DC's might also be an option for fast restore, but
usually I don't even recommend that unless there are hardware issues to
contend with. Not a lot of point for the effort if hardware is the same.
