/var/cache/apt/archives
This is very useful when you want to check which version of package is installed on your system and you can take backup of this folder and install all the packages in another machine
If you want to use GUI Program for this check here
The actual exam of 350-001 or even VCP-310 is just an exam. You have to be practical to figure out solutions to backup issues etc. Sometimes a course like 640-802 also helps you and sometimes a 70-290 is left clueless.

Hi,
I tried to copy the packages from”/var/cache/apt/archives”. I could not able to find any packages in this location.
Is it only If I use Synaptic, packages will be saved there? I installded the packages manually by downloading it one by one and double click on it. Is it because of this processor?
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 in Wubi.
