Not bootable, but still backup?

I did remember reading in the manual that the image on the network drive would not be bootable, but it also says that it can be restored using the OS X install disk. I guess I was thinking that I could possibly create a bootable back-up via firewire (as a fail safe fall backup and something I might replace monthly) and additionally create a disk image over the network and back that up more occasionally since it would be easier with my laptop.

Does it make any sense to do this?

I hadn't really thought it through and I haven't tried to mount a network drive yet, but even if I just use an airdisk as extra wireless accessible storage (I did partition the drive before I SuperDuper'ed) and reconnected to firewire every once and a while that would be better than my current backup system (nothing.)

Is there a way to integrate firewire bootable back-ups and disk images that can be save via network?
