I think you mean to say back up the old ROM before flashing a new one?
You perform a NANDROID backup. For this, you need to go to recovery, and select the backup option.
If the Sense version & Android versions of both ROMs is the same, wipe Cache +Dalvik from recovery before flashing the new ROM. If you want to revert back, Wipe Cache + Dalvik from recovery again and then flash the Old ROM.

What I meant to say was that if the Android software version (for example 2.3.4 (Ginger Bread) or 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) ) & the HTC Sense software version (for example Sense 3.5, Sense 3.6, Sense 4.0) are same for the old ROM that was installed and the new ROM that you want to install, it is sufficient to wipe Cache + Dalvik.
If they are not the same, then you need to format all partitions except SD Card.
To wipe Cache + Dalvik or to Format all partitions:

I'm running a sense Rom right now but I'm going to install a non-sense Rom that why I need to know the difference between a sense and a android version is a Android version a Rom without sense?I don't know how to determine if there the same because if they are I just wipecache & dalvik.what about if there not the same then what do I wipe or do?

If you go to Settings > About phone > Software Information , you can find android version and sense version information is available there.
If you are switch to a Senseless ROM, format all partitions.
