Multiple clones on same partition?

I think that may be the way to go...

I've been satisfied using SD! for backing up my iMac G5 boot volume to a bootable volume and everything else to sparse images on two FW drives. I'd be wasting too much space, or not having enough for everything I want backed up, by backing up to separate volumes. I've also got a "scratch" volume on an iBook G3 that can be used in FW target mode, if that's ever necessary for some reason.
