I am new to Mac OS.

I had install Bootcamp inside my Mac OS.
eveytime my windows inside my bootcamp got problem, I always go to Mac Desktop and delete windows from there.
Then I reinstall and download Windows again.

Is there any way to Clone the Windows inside the bootcamp and restore it after I delete the Windows.

alternative, Is there any software to Clone the whole Mac OS into my Flashdrive/Portable Hardisk. So I can restore it, without reformat and set everything again and again.

*I used to use Clonezilla to clone my Lunix, but I am not sure what software to use for Mac.
 
you mean CloneZilla can clone the whole Mac OS included Windows Bootcamp inside?
Everything?

but my thumbdrive had to format as fat32 correct?

When using bootcamp, your windows installation is not "inside" of your OS X installation at all. They are two completely separate partitions on your HDD or SSD. Bootcamp is simply a utility used to set up the partitions and to choose which partition to boot from.

Now I get it, thank you.
I have 1 more question, Its is possible to set Mac PC auto boot up to Windows from shutdown at a schedule time?

for exp. normal Windows desktop computer, asus motherboard, I can go to the bios setting and set its auto wake up time from shutdown.
 
OP asked:
"How to Clone and Backup Mac OS?"

As easy as it gets.
Use either CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.

Right now, CCC has "the edge" because it can also clone your recovery partition.
CCC is one of the outstanding examples of Mac software available.

Note that CCC -CANNOT- clone the Windows partition, it only "speaks Mac".
To clone the Windows partition, folks seem to recommend "Winclone".
 
Have you considered using a VM? Would help with the speed of resetting, backups etc

I have never tried this because I don't use bootcamp, however it does surprise me since when I have used CCC, I noticed that is uses dd under the covers. I would think that dd would be able to easily make an image of any partition no matter what partition type it is. I use dd all the time to make images of linux and FAT partitions on various media.

It looks like bootrunner will help you do this. I have no experience doing this, just found it quickly using this site. (you may have heard of it)
