Cloning works quite well. Depending on your License level you may have access to the vDR appliance http://blogs.vmware.com/uptime/2010/06/new-vdr-release-out-today.html which can give you not only full point in time copies but also file level restores and since it uses deduplication consumes far less space than multiple clones. It does require recovery time so it isn't as quick as bringing up a clone.

Have a look at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9852 for the ghettoVCB or ghettoVCBg2 scripts for a scripted cloning of one or more VM.s
