No. CrashPlan PRO is focused on backing up files. We recommend you use a cloning tool to backup your server from a boot disk so you are guaranteed a clean clone of your drive. Then use CrashPlan to keep the daily and hourly backups. If your hard drive dies, just restore from the clone and use CrashPlan to restore to the latest and greatest data files you truly care about.
