AppBackup 1.0.3-1
AppBackup is a program for the iPhone/iPod touch that lets you back up
and restore the saved data and settings for your App Store apps.
Usage
To back up one app, open AppBackup, select the app, and then select
Backup. To restore an app, select it and then select Restore. (If there
is no restore option, then it hasn't been backed up yet.) To back up all
apps at once, tap All at the top-left of the screen, and select Backup.
To restore all apps that have been backed up at once, tap All and select
Restore. (You must have at least one app backed up in order to see this
option.)

Backup and restore your apps from Cydia. The way this works is it makes
a list of your installed apps and puts that list in a location that is
under iTunes backup. When you sync with iTunes, that list is stored.
After you restore your iPhone in iTunes, you install aptbackup from
Cydia, run it, and hit restore, and it will automatically reinstall all
your apps in your list. You can also set up one iPhone and use this as a
template for setting up others with one click.
What this will not do:
1) Actually backup your apps or their settings
2) Backup your springboard file placement
3) You cannot restore a backup "whenever". It is only for restoring
a backup after a fresh iTunes installation.
