We have all our Databases backed up.

But what about Server backup for things like: Jobs, Linked Servers and Logins? Or does the Master Database cover that. Any links would be helpful plus any tip on restoring the Master Database, great.

Master and msdb cover those.

How to restore the master database is very well documented in BOL.
