Is there something like system restore in ubuntu like windows. I want to restore system to previous state(newly installed ) so that i can take backup of installed packages that are independent of others.
eg. Amrok and K3B both are KDE applications and require KDE library. Suppose first i install amrok and KDE lib is also installed.Now i backup and delete all the packages from /var/apt/cache/archives/ and then if i install K3B and take backup of it, the backup will not include KDE lib as it is already installed on my system. So the backup is incomplete and can't be installed independentely.
So plz suggest me good way to restore my system to fresh state for the purpose of taking independent backup of the packages
