Now that I have made my system close to perfect (for me).
I want to backup my installation.
I know there are some tools for windows to do this.
Are there tools for Linux to do this?

It will do the trick, however, you can't use the backup file on a partition with different size. An other way to simply copy everything to an archive. Just create a tar.bz2 containing the root filesystem (excluding /proc and the mounted partitions), and untar it to an empty disk when you want to restore your system.
