The best way do it is by using pkgbackup. There's no simple restore from a backup for jailbreakers unfortunately...

Thanks ! Does package back up works for both paid n unpaid apps?

Never used it myself so don't know. I would assume it does.

It doesn't really back up your apps. From what I understand from other users on here it creates a list of all you cydia apps and stores them as a contact. Then when you rejailbreak you can download pkgbackup again and it will get all your cydia apps for you...

I agree with gaz This app is a life saver. Yes it backs up paid and unpaid

iTunes backs all that stuff up...

Yes it can be set to back up everything. But you must tell it what to do the first time or reset it if it's not saving something you want to. Like me I don't save my pics every time so I have to manually change that if I want to set it.

You backup all cydia apps and tweaks using package backup, The rest of the apps and files which are not from cydia can be backed up with iTunes on your computer.
