You can use the System Backup tool from Yast. I am doing regular backups in 10.1 and saving them on my separate /home partition, but I haven't tried to restore a system from the backups yet, so I don't know exactly how well that works. What I trust most are my detailed notes on the installation starting from scratch. I write down everything that deviates from the default and so I can reinstall and recover the same state anytime. It may take some time, but I can do other things while doing it, because it's just a recipe, everything is figured out and the successful outcome is assured. In case the system needs to be restored (or upgraded), you will notice the value of having a separate /home partition, because you can wipe out the system partition and mount the /home partition without formatting and all user data is (hopefully) preserved.
