read-only volumes are total duplicates of the read-write ones. You
can save quite if you punt them.
backup clone volumes, on the other hand, are a real win since they
don't take up any extra space (they live on the same partition and are
just a second set of pointers to your files). They only take up space
if you modify things in the non-backup volume (afs does copy on
write). The problem is if you lose a disk you also lose the backup.
I don't see this as a real problem if you've got weekly tape backups.
