I've never had to do it, but Backup Executive provides a crash-recovery option
that supports restoring the system from scratch, thereby allowing you to skip
the reinstall-the-system prologue to doing the restore. A reinstall is
indicated after doing that, however, but I've contemplated it and concluded it
might, in fact, be worth the trouble.
It's possible that current third-party offerings are better than the early stuff
I've tried out, but my experience with backup software has been pretty
discouraging. After years of using Exabyte drives with Exabyte/Novell
"Enterpirz" backup software, which worked as well as one could want, but doesn't
handle long file names, I found the Windows-based options wanting. So far, I've
not found even one that works every time, and every time really should be read,
"twice in a row."
