I'm afraid I don't know much about how well the builtin w2k backup
program works when dealing with things like open registry hives and
other open files. I suspect you'd get back all of your user-created
data (documents, etc.) minus anything open at the time of backup. The
system stuff sounds a bit more dicey to me.
