I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 installed alongside with Windows 7. Can I just have a system backup in the form of one or more DVD(s) so that I can restore the system with every package that are previously installed and if possible can I make use of that DVD(s) as a live CD with all the previously installed packages?

If "Back In Time(root)" is installed in my system, will it be useful?

You can always use something like clonezilla to backup your ubuntu installed software. Another option is to generate a list of the software like this....

aptitude search -F '%100p' '~i!~M' > my-styff

copy it to a flash drive and/or email it to yourself. Saves lots of space as long as you are talking about standard install stuff.

  • Can you tell little bit more in detail about Clonezilla?

    As per the link you suggested Clonezilla live is what I require. But I dunno how to install and make use of it. Google gives result about the Clonezilla server. What is Clonezilla server now?
