Write yourself some package manager hook scripts that fire off root snapshots before package upgrades or installation. I keep like 10 of those in addition to my scheduled system snapshots. It makes rolling back a borked update trivial in case I don't have time to fix something that went wrong before important work needs to happen.
snapper does that; I think it's available for most distros, so no scripting necessary. There's an Arch package that takes snapshots before installing any software.
Neat stuff!
