Isn’t there any software that can make an exact copy of the entire system and create a new iso that can later be installed as a new installation, but which exactly restores everything to how it was before, as you can for example with the ubuntu distros?

manjaro-tools-git allows you to create your own custom ISO, but this would not be a copy of your entire system. It would be an installer ISO, and there is no way that you could fit your entire installation onto a single DVD — which is the recommended maximum size for an ISO anyway, due to memory constraints.

If you make a complete system backup with timeshift — whether it’s an actual rsync backup on a separate disk or whether it’s a btrfs snapshot — then you can roll back that backup. timeshift is in the Manjaro ISO, and all you need to do is tell it to restore from where to where.
