Re: Noob Question: New Configuration, then Backup?
If you're going to start flashing ROM's on any kind of regular basis you're much better off looking into UC/XDA_UC/SASHIMI as alternatives. With those tools, you can flash any custom, or stock ROM, as often as you want, and simply reinstall all apps and tweaks / settings as defined in your UC or SASHIMI setup. If you were to go your route, the next time you want to flash a different ROM, or even a newer release of the one you may be looking at or using now, you'd have to flash that new one, then reinstall everything from scratch anyway. Hope this makes sense.
