I use a dual-boot with windows and Ubuntu

Every topic I've read says I "will need to unmount the drive I want to back up"

Is there any way to back up the system with apps I installed and everything from LiveCD or Windows? If yes how? How do I restore it?

I want to back up the system on the same Drive . I mean I have a C:, D:, F: (the partition I want to recover Ubuntu on) and the Sys, Swap partitions

I hate having to install apps, theme, servers every time.

Download the current stable version of Clonezilla (the iso file), and create a USB boot drive or CD boot disk. Boot from it and let Clonezilla do the job for you.

I suggest that you run at beginner level (I do that too after a few years). Make a compressed image of the whole drive. The image is a directory with a number of files, and Clonezilla can restore the system into the same drive or a new drive of at least the same size.

See this link: clonezilla.org

Please notice that you should backup to another drive, either connected via the network in another computer or via USB or eSATA in the same computer.
