You have to use some Ubuntu customization software which allows you to rebuild Ubuntu from the DVD with all needed programs and files. Check this link from askubuntu

It's a bit unclear what exactly you want to do, but you can create a complete copy of your entire system this way.
First, remove all USB drives and such to make sure we won't include those.
Then, press Ctrl+Alt+T, or use the menu, to open a terminal. Issue this command:
sudo tar -cvf system.tar /
This will create an archive file in your home directory containing the entire system and all your personal data.
If you're only looking for a backup, it might be sufficient to back up your home directory though, and not the entire system. After all, you can always reinstall the OS and software, but personal data is a lot worse to lose.
