I have Acronis True Image that can do exactly like it but it only works with Windows machine. I can reboot from Acronis CD, do a complete back up from there and copy it to an external hard drive. In the event of software corruption or whatever, I can reformat the hard drive, reboot from Acronis CD and do a complete restore. Everything goes back exactly the way it used to be; bit by bit. It's a perfect restore program for a Windows machine.

NOTA: I actually don't have a tablet yet but I want to know if it is possible to do this before making a purchase.
One way:

"Android includes a built-in way to back up and restore the contents of your phone or tablet. All you need is a computer and a device running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or newer.

We’ve also covered backing up and restoring your Android phone with Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup is a great app, but it requires rooting your Android. This feature isn’t exposed in Android’s user interface, so you should consider it experimental."
