Backup Mac Pro

One of our users has Mac book pro, with dual boot Linux/Mac.He needs to delete the Linux partition.
Prior to deleting Linux partition, he wants to take backup of MAC.
I wonder in this case which backup will be much more convenient. I do not think Time machine is the right backup, since it will restore just the data of MAC not the whole image in case of disaster. I wonder if Disk utility, which comes with MAC if it can be the right tool.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I guess disk image backup is the right one...
I believe time machine will backup just the data inside MAC, OS image not included..
