Yes.

My more or less 'ordinary' way of this.

That matches what I recall from long ago.  As well, depending on what the box
is used for, I try to keep the C:\ 'boot' drive as much as possible used for
just the operating system stuff.  As well, for years and years I've been a
supporter and even developer helper for DFSEE which has been well worth the
paid for tool that it is.  I more or less use two different ways to 'back up'
and archive complete hard disks for safety purposes. Since I'm highly SCSI
oriented as to operations all over whatever, I have for years used the Back
Again 2K Server SCSI tape drive operations.  Note that you MUST have the
/Server product and update to solve lots of earlier problems with that.  Then
on beyond that for many years I've used the DFSEE tools to actually repeatedly
clone complete duplicate hard drive backups for critical systems.  As well as
take a known completely clean and operational drive for a system that can even
be used to duplicate multiple workstation systems for OS/2 on Peer or even full
OS/2 network operations.  Which can be reasonably altered with personal tools
to become separate ID workstations in the network.  DFSEE is a BEAUTIFUL tool.

My total involvement in OS/2 networked locations has involved way over 50 OS/2
computers in all this and that at the peak of my 'computalife'.  Though as I
understand the OS/2 Peer system can't handle more than 16 units in a given
network.
