if you are really willing to take backup of your iPod touch, you can set up AFP for it and then could see to it as appear on your desktop as an external drive. Then not a very big task you just need to copying the contents to another directory/drive.

or else you could also achieve using an FTP client like cyberduck for macs or WinSCP for windows and this will be the way. It still needs you to have installer and SSH installed on your iPod touch so that you can connect using FTP....

First select an application through the proper path On your ipod, locate the application you want to delete.

Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.

Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, select Delete.
