No need for it. First of all, everything that came with the computer is on the install disk. There’s no recovery partition for Macs because you already have the disk. If you want to back up your computer, you can use Apple’s Time Machine program (already on the Mac) to do it, then restore from the backup after you reinstall OS X.

The discs that shipped with your Mac will reinstall the OS and applications that shipped with it. To create a system backup of your own, purchase an external hard drive and use one of these free utilities to clone you Mac:
Carbon Copy Cloner
SuperDuper
Disk Utility (Included in Mac)
Time Machine
Backups should be done on a regular basis.
