Per se that's no good idea, as you will create clones if you don't take necessary precautions.
You can use tools like Clonezilla and other imaging/backup software for that general purpose.

That's a different use case. It is used to create Mandriva installation media, but normally
you need a local mirror with Mageia package repositories and it is really complicated.

You should take a look at Mondo or Bacula or something the like.
