After one has gotten a Hackintosh to a stable useable state, what is the 
best method to back it up so that it can be restored without need to go 
through the whole install setup process again.

Does TimeMachine work? That seems like it would the the simplest and 
fastest way to go.

I have a USB stick setup with the installer which I shall keep for the 
purpose only, and I have made notes on how I got from the install 10.6.3 to 
10.6.8. So I can start from scratch, but I would be nice to just restore 
the fully fleshed out system.

A big reason for asking is that at some point sooner rather than later, I 
will need to upgrade the current hard drive.
