Yes you can. Along with the System State you should also include the below to recover from disaster.

1) System State

2) Shadow Copy Components

3) Utility Partition

4) C drive

5) Data and Catalogs folder (to recover Backup Exec from disaster)

As I said earlier, without AOF your system state backup may not be complete

System state & Shadow Copy Components are by default snapshot backups whether AOFO is on or not.

You should turn on AOF when you backup the system state. Otherwise opened files would not be backed up

Thank you guys !

@ PKH,
that was exactly my question, whether I could backup Windows System State when AOF is activated. Or is there any known complications ?
