Is there a way to restore a whole sql server 2008, instead of going database by database?

No, not really. Backups are taken on a per database method and that's the only way to restore. You can script the entire process (with a lot of work and testing) so that you can regenerate a system from a single command, but that command will consist of a series of database restores.
