You can use Norton Ghost, Mondo/Mindi rescue (http://www.mondorescue.org/), PartitionImage (http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page) and similar software.

There is no built in utility.
I like mondo quite much, free and very efficient. I use it on RHEL 4 AS and EL, as well as on fedora.

You can also use the "star" command to backup every filesytem listed in the output of:

df -t ext

This information should be enough to reconstruct the system in case of a failure.
