Is it possible to backup my HTC sensation phone to the current state and then restore it later just like how we create backup image of windows operating system and restore?

You can also use Titanium Backup to backup applications and their data, it might be helpful if you want to switch between Sense/AOSP/MIUI ROMs or different versions of AOSP. But if you want to make an exact snapshot of system with all user data/cache/everything else - nandroid backup via recovery is the best

Titanium backup will only store apps and data. A full nandroid backup will back up every thing on your internal storage, so that everything can be restored without a hitch (apps, data, sms, settings everything). A nand restore will feel as if a change never occured (apps on your SD card will be revived as long as they exist on SD card).

I just tried Nandroid backup via clockworkmod recovery and it is exactly what I was looking for. It worked like a charm. :thumbup:
