What can I actually do with a System State Backup anyway?

[RogerSmithIII]

 I understand what System State info backs up.  My question is what can I do with it?  If Windows ever melted down, and I reinstalled the OS on the same server, I still have to install all the apps again, correct?  I still have to reinstall IIS, and set up my web sites too, right?  What does System State allow me to do?

Thanks
