ClusterBack and Restore

What's the best way to backup cluster and restore it incase of outage?
TIA
Env: MSCS 2000
OS: Win2000 Adv Srv
SQL2k
System State backups of the nodes, $ backup of the shared disks, SQL file
backup to a shared disk. Test, test, test. To know if you have everything
for a restore, perform one on your test cluster.
Cheers,
Rod
