You can backup your stuff through adb without root.
Titanium backups faq has a pretty detailed section on it.

or you can use ADB and backup all your data that way using the desktop backup password section

If I have some games that I moved to my SD-Card, and I install a new rom, cleaning data/cache, will the games still be accessible?
No, it will not work.

i thought if the phone was rooted and backed up using titanium backup that you could restore all your apps+data

It can be restored via my backup root or titanium backup (I use backup root before). But for his problem, his system file is deleted, only apps are in sd. Unless you fully backup via backup root, then it will work after it restored

Titanium is paid. My backup root is free

*sigh* You're wrong, again.
Titanium backup is free, and probably better than everything else.
It has a paid extension which adds stuff like hypershell and synching.
i would recommend you use ASTRO file manager and create a backup of apps and games on SD card. After flashing new ROM, you just need to reinstall apps and games from your SD card backup data.
To know how to create backup data and download Astro file manager checkout this link http://goo.gl/29ykK

Hi
I am about to install Villain rom 2.1 onto my GS2. As per instructions, I have backed up using the app that got installed by the cf root called CWM.
I would lose all my setting etc when I install the rom right? If I want to get it back while keeping the villain rom do i restore from CWM. And will this keep the root and the custom rom.??
Thanks. Please help. ASAP
Yes you will lose your settings, and app data, if you want to save it, use titanium backup and backup user Apps and data.
You can restore anything in white or green, but items in red will most likely cause problems
The backup you made is a nandroid backup which if you restore you will restore your whole old rom.
As far as root, cf root will auto root, and villainrom is rooted so you can just install the superuser app from the market.

You mean on the homescreens etc? Depending on the launcher, you can try backing up twlauncher and restoring it after you flash, but it may not work, so take a nandroid backup before you try.

i forgot to perma temp root and backup all of my apks and apk data. My question is, what is the best way to restore my stock backup and backup my apks and data? or is this possible?
Unless you made a nandroid of your previous ROM you can't go back. If you had "Backup My Settings" checked in Settings>Privacy, your apps usually restore automatically, but not the data. I've always used TitaniumBackup to backup and restore my apps and data, but there are other apps out there.

I did back it up, im not that stupid. But programs like that need root, im trying to see if i can restore my old backup and install superuser to get the permissions for my backup pro?

This makes no sense.
If you are S-OFF, all you have to do is flash the superuser app after you restore your stock backup to get root back.
That's what I was getting at if I have root I can back up all my stock app data

Is there any way to perform a nandroid restore excluding an app from coming back?
I was thinking of mounting the SD and traveling to the CWM directory. Afterward, I would remove the apk via Windows Explorer. Is this sufficient to eradicate all traces of that app?
Thanks everyone in advance for your help!

Use adb backup then restore using titanium? Titanium now does extracting/restoring from an adb backup. That is your best shot i guess
