Title: Re: [Fed-Talk] Virtual Mac
The utility "SuperDuper" from shirt pocket software offers what they call "Safety Clones" that will allow you to checkpoint your system, install patches/updates and roll back if you need to at some later point.
>From their website..
With a few clicks, you can easily "checkpoint" your system, preserving your computer's critical applications and files while you run on a working, bootable copy. If anything goes wrong, just reboot to the original. When you do, your current Documents, Music, Pictures — even iSync data — are available! You can get back to work immediately!

It does require a separate partition/drive.
