One installation time use case - to make a backup of your current system as you're going to play with your partitions, formating etc. and you want to be sure you don't touch for example other OSes... I prefer connecting USB disk and making 1:1 copy (dd like but of course - clever one, only occupied space). Something like http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page but there's no ext4 support :( If I want to reinstall from scratch - then solution listed in Wiki is more suitable.
