Default backup HD, bootable restore

I had a computer crash a while back and restoring everything from install
CDs to make it run is just too painful... I have all data and documents
cross backed up on the network and never loose that (so far)

I now have seven networked computers on the place. I need a way to backup
the boot disk on each computer and then be able to easily restore a crashed
hard disk so it runs again. What's best? I'd sure like to be able to do it
over the network to one large hard disk. I guess DVDs would be OK, but not
as nice. If there's a way to backup just the OS and then reinstall software,
that would be great.
