Default Apps backup

So, I thought I backed everything up when switching from 1.5 to 2.1 leak. Then I realized that the apps I had paid for while running 1.5 were "lost". I put that in quotes because maybe Im not looking in the right place. If I go from the 2.1 leak to the 2.1 OTA rom from HTC, will I be losing my paid apps? Is there a way to backup and reinstall these apps on the OTA 2.1 rom? Thanks for the help.

If you are rooted u can use titanium backup, but it doesn't sound like you are...

I'm not rooted. When I installed the 2.1 leak I backed up every folder on my phone before install. When I went into the folders to transfer the apps and games I had on 1.5 I couldn't find any of the things I had backed up. Also, certain apps like Bank of America and Lookout no longer let me log in. Any ideas on what I did wrong?

If I'm not mistaken, the only security on the market is that the apps are not accessable to non-root users. Since you were unrooted, you couldn't have copied them.

Hmmm... didn't think about that. (Still a NooB ) So, if I were to update from 2.1 leak to 2.1 OTA, would I lose the apps that I have paid/registered for or is there a way to backup or reinstall them on the new 2.1? Thanks again.
