OS on one partition Users on another

Hello. I rebuilt my powerbook after a crash by partitioning it so there would be 2 OS partitions and one shared partition between them (i.e. my user directory is on a single partition and is symbolically linked to the two OS partitions.) This enabled me to upgrade one OS to check for compatibility while leaving the other untouched but still to have my prefs/desktop/documents the same for both.

Anyway I am wondering about a backup strategy for this arrangement. Obviously my shared partition is where everything important is, but I also wish to incrementally backup my main OS partition.

Advice?

Thanks!
