You need to do a system image, and update it when you install new programs. Win7 backup does that. Make sure you have bootable media somewhere. (Create startup disk). There's a FAQ at the link I gave you.
Also, there's this:

You can do something like make a system image monthly and do file backups daily, weekly, etc.
