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.

Virtualization foundation promotion
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?
