That would work fine in a pinch as long as I have at least one standard server stored off-site, but I would prefer a single solution that works for both server backup and also disaster recovery.  In the former case, I can expect to have just a single server fail and so Ghost will work fine.  In the latter case, I could have lots of server failures simultaneously and having to do a two step ghost to hardware and then hardware to VM could be time consuming.

I used VMware converter (a free product) to convert a running Windows 2003 server into a VM image. It seemed to work. Couldn't you just install the Ghost image on a new system, and then run VM converter against that?
