Windows refuses to boot from the restored backup. You first have to clear a key in the registry. Besides, that backs up everything, including empty space and doesn't allow for incremental backups. There is still the problem of getting speech to restore the partition later. I've seen this kind of solution proposed here several times, but I guarantee you that it won't work. Even worse, you don't have a way of knowing that Windows didn't boot because no speech comes up. Also, it requires booting into Linux since you can't normally backup a Windows partition in use.
