Not really relevant but today I used SuperDuper on a Macbook with Lion to clone a 10.4.11 image from a 466MHz G4 tower to a 1GHz eMac over a botched Panther installation via Firewire.
Also used that eMac to install 10.5 Leopard from the original Leopard retail DVD to the same G4 tower over Firewire a year ago.
I'd say back up and give it a go.
