Okeydoke. If you just want a safety backup of your machine (rather than adopting the whole virtualisation process) you could certainly do as DK suggests. An alternative (and one we use as a matter of course when tweaking machines) is to clone your drive using Carbon Copy Cloner – which is initially free. It’ll dupe your drive to an external volume. Follow the prompts and you can’t go wrong…
And this method obviates reinstalling systems and apps.
Good luck…
