Why?

I'm in a similar situation. We find that making a boot partition of just an OS and a few utilities on a Firewire drive allows us to boot to that, do repairs if necessary, and then run Carbon Copy Cloner to suck off the user's data.

Although I believe you can make a single .dmg or restore image with CCC, I've always found it much easier to clone their data to the second partition on the FW HD
