No Sumit, this is not the correct forum to ask this question. This list discusses the documentation of Ubuntu system. You may post your query at ubuntu-users list. Also, do not reply to a digest. Instead send a new mail to the list your brief description of your problem in the subject line.
However, pertaining to your query, I have used remastersys [1] successfully to replicate/backup my ubuntu system. It creates an ISO file with all your programs and updates. Burn this ISO file on a cd/dvd and it can be installed on any other computer (as if you have created your custom distro)

I believe there are a couple of other solutions, which I am not fully aware of.
For any further queries, you may post them at ubuntu-users list as mentioned earlier.
