OS X's Disk Utility can clone drives - see the "Restore" tab.  Destination must 
be same size or larger than the source. 

There are also various 3rd party tools that do this, such as Carbon Copy Cloner 
and SuperDuper, which can do incremental clones and are more focused on being 
used for ongoing, bootable backups.
