All the important stuff will still be stored on your storage disk.
The reservation I'd have about this method is that it isn't easy identifying the "important stuff". Aside from whatever you have in the Documents folder, you also need to consider saved games (which in most cases will be in the game program folder but could also exist in the Documents folder or elsewhere), program configurations (having to set up a dozen or more programs from scratch is undesireable - and these can be held in files or Registry entries) and program data (email databases, logfiles, etc).
Full image backups avoid this problem since everything gets copied, so when restored your system is just as it was when the backup was started.
