I've been using Acronis for a long time. I have it set to do a system image every week as well. The one and only time I lost a hard drive I just installed a new one and restored a backup from acronis (using the bootable CD). Then I restarted booting off the new drive that I had just copied my image to and it worked just like nothing ever happened.
Most of my work is stored in the cloud (ie google docs, dropbox, S3, subversion) so really the OS and applications don't change that often.
