Image of entire Mac can be created by Disk utility, which is an inbuilt feature of Mac OS X. Follow these steps:-

1. Go to Applications > Utilities
2. From the File menu, select New > Disk Image from Folder.
3. Select the Drive , click the New Image button
4. Choose the destination where you want to store your image
5. Once the disc image is created, it will appear in the left pane in the Disk Utility application.
