Odd thing happened when changing Roms? Need backing up advice.

So yesterday, I was changing from an oxygen gingerbread rom, to a sense v2 one. I did a full wipe, clearing cache, data and even devilik cache. I have changed ROM's lots before, but I haven't had this before. I didn't even notice it was being done, but I woke up the next day to find that on my nice new sense rom, all my apps market were automatically reinstalled from the market onto my phone - all by itself.

Now this leads me to 2 questions.

1. How did this happen, and how can I make it do it again, as I now want to switch to the gingerbread one again (i'm indecisive) and would really like to get this to do it again, as it saved me hours.

2. This obviously only works for market apps. Normally to backup my third party external source apps, I use titanium backup. But changing roms often, this is annoying as every app requires you to keep pressing that install button as if it were a new app. Multiply this with over 100 apps, and that's a huge and boring task. Plus, as you constantly have to press install for each app, you can't leave it to do it. You must spend ages tapping away. There must be an easier way?

Thanks.
 
How can it do it any other way though? I pressumed it did this as they still had to be installed somehow. I will buy pro then :)
 
It's worth it. Scheduled backups too

You still have to restore the apps but you don't have to press install on each one. It just does it once you run the batch
