There is a very interesting article about this in TidBits:
UPDATE!
David Nanian of Shirt Pocket Software says that SuperDuper! can once again create bootable clone backups under Beta 2 of macOS 15.3. So, one can presume that once the final verison of macOS 15.3 is released, folks will be back in business for creating bootable clones.
However, you can create a bootable clone in any case by first using Apple's OS Installer program to install a copy of the macOS on your external drive, and then using something like SuperDuper! to do data-only clone backups to the drive. See:
Install macOS on an external storage device and use it as a startup disk
