Default Creating backups

Hello, i was just wondering of all the backup possibilities i should take for my sister's laptop. I've spent pretty much my whole day trying to fix it and finally got it up and running properly. I now want to know what backups precautions i should take.

Backing up the normal files: music, photos, docs etc...
System restore
Registry backup

what else?

Why not just take a image of the whole drive using FOG, CloneZilla or Acronis true Image?
