Harddrive Failure - Disaster Recovery - Windows Server 2003

Using Windows Server 2003, and not any 3rd party products, what is the best way to ensure a seamless restore in the event of a harddrive failure/disaster?

The server configuration is usually:

Windows Server 2003
MSDE/SQL Server 2000
MSDNS
etc.

Is a Complete/Normal backup with MS Backup the best bet? Will this allow for a quick restore to a new harddrive?
