Tiger Prep Advice

In addition to the bootable clones, you could also back up your most frequently changing data (maybe even your entire home directory) more often to sparse images on the Data volume.

For example, on my iMac I have a separate /Users volume that I back up to a sparse image more often than my boot volume. And I back up mail and some other files to a sparse volume on a different FW drive even more often.

That's a partial picture. After I've finished fully automating everything (probably soon after 2.0 is released) I'll post a more detailed explanation. Hopefully other folks will also post their SD! usage scenarios so we can learn from each other.
