Yes, you could boot from your copy and copy it right back. The files not copied are all things like temporary files and caches that either have no meaning across a boot, or can cause trouble when booting a copy from a different machines.
You could also clean install (Tiger) and use the Migration Assistant to migrate your applications and user files from your backup... there are many possibilities because of the nature of a full, bootable copy!
