Program Backups Before Flash to new ROM

[fbskiracer]

I skimmed a few older threads but didn't see and answer to my question per say, so forgive me for asking it again.

Is there a good way to backup programs installed to the SD card on my TP2 before I flash it. I have like 2 dozen medical programs that take forever to install every time I flash my phone. Is there an easy way to just recover them in windows (since they're truly installed to the SD cards)?

Generally I just use outlook to backup my contacts and use a folder full of tweaks for installs, but my programs take forever (tons of Skyscape programs, IGuidance, Epocrates ect.)

Thanks in advance!!
