Sorry sir . There is a mistake in my words. I want to save or backup all of my installed applications for future use. All are downloaded/installed from the software center.

thanks

You can use aptoncd. I suggest you tell apt-get to redownload the debs if you have cleared the apt cache. Otherwise aptoncd will make you a CD of the debs in the cache which you can transfer to another system.
