    I have a solution for doing this backup. For that first you have to arrange a 8GB usb stick and format to create a boot disk. Connect the usb driver to your mac system and mount the file macosx.dmg. For mounting you will need Onyx or the other way is to use Terminal. Try to clone the mounted drive inside the usb stick. There are some ready made tools called as Carbon Copy Cloner. After cloning unmount the device to check stability.

    I will suggest you to make the use of the CopyCatX for doing that, because i have used it from last 6 to 7 months, on my system for doing the same thing and it had worked well. So you also try to go for the same thing and do remember to reply me back, if you get any success regarding this issue. Hope have helped you.
