This should help you.
There is a neat function in titanium that allows you to batch backup just your user installed apps this may be helpful in the future when backing your phone up.

Back them up to your SD card. That way the backups won't get wiped unless you reformat the SD card.
This also holds true of the internal SD card of the X2. Unless you format it, you won't lose your backups.

It's however you want to set it up yourself. I believe by default it goes to your SD card, but you can change where you want it to go.
Ok, now that that is out of the way. My other problem is TERRIBLE battery life. I have juice defender installed and set on the medium setting and i recalibrated the batter, but still the phone maybe lasts 4 hours on a full charge before its dead. Is this normal? Can it be remedied?

Four hours? What apps do you have installed and has it always been this way? Or, do you constantly play games and surf the web with it? Or, is it draining in 4 hours on stand by?
If it's stand by, I'd say your battery is bad. If it's still in warranty, I would take it back and get a new battery. if that doesn't work, sounds like your phone is messed up and might need to be replaced.
Without more information, we can't really help you.
I know with my X2, I had to leave town and forgot my charger. I went 24 hours without the charger, played some games, checked email, texted, made phone calls, and even listened to a Indianapolis Colts game (but turned it off after 10 minutes when they were down 21-0) and by the time I got back home, I was down to 14%. I am running an extended battery as well, so that helps too.
Minimul apps, minimal just regular things that i have always had on there, even before rooting. It was fine up until i started using eclipse. Even after rooting before putting a new ROM in the battery was fine, which makes me believe its something to do with the ROM

That would definitely suck down some juice. If I remember, from left to right you have:
WiFi, Blue Tooth, GPS/Location, Sound/Vibrate, Brightness, and of the last two, once is for synching and I don't know what the other one is.
In any case, I usually have WiFi off, blue tooth and gps off. I would say your biggest culprit was the blue tooth. But, WiFi can do it too, especially if it keeps searching for WiFi networks around you and you haven't connected to any of them.

So Eclipse has a known battery "issue". They say it's not an issue but I think it is because I didn't start seeing battery issues untill I flashed Eclipse. You basically have to do what's called a battery calibration which is to wipe the phone's internal battery "meter" or whatever the technical term is. Basically you are getting a false reading of sorts. Plus, Eclipse uses a 1% battery meter so you also notice the battery more often than you do on the stock battery meter. Now they say on XDA that again this isn't an "issue" but I think it is. (as much as I like the asthetics of Eclipse I don't use it anymore)
Now for the solution:
1) Charge your phone overnight or to the point you think that it is truly 100% charged.
2) Use the bootstrap recovery utility to boot into recovery mode.
3) go to advanced - Wipe battery stats, then reboot and see if it makes a difference.
4) If it doesn't work then I would then charge again and then install this battery calibration application from the android market. You should be good.
Note: Before doing the above mentioned I would read more about the topic here on XDA.
