Creating a Disk clone of my main boot partition

[dsc106]

What is the best way to make a perfect clone of my boot partition, that I can easily restore later? I have it all setup with software installs, dock/finder preferences, etc. etc. Basically a perfect image, I'd like to save it (110gb used on main partition) for restore later... How do I do this, and how would I restore it in the case of a HDD failure or the system getting all messed up? I'm running amd leo 10.5.2 hackintosh, if that matters.
