Hi,
There is absolutely no interest to backup your mac to your mac, and OS X doesn't allow it, even if you have 2 partitions of your main drive.
However, be aware that If you do not plug your external drive for a day or 2, OS X still keeps versions of your files of the previous 2 days, that way you can revert to previous versions without having your disc with you all the time. Note however that it will not indefinitely go on, so you still need to plug your drive from time to time.
