Carbon Copy Cloner does produce a bootable clone, slowly; but won't update an existing clone and may or may not actually get everything copied with all the metadata right.
There are not a lot of good alternatives to SuperDuper, which suggests that the difficulties with Leopard are substantial.

CCC can do smart backups... this has been discussed and is mentioned in the CCC docs:
