How to backup games without root?

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm in the same boat...
I found an answer, but it's not the one you want to hear. :-(

Some games (like angry birds) put the save file somewhere anyone can access. Some other games (like cut the rope and pvz) put the save file somewhere you can only access (even read-only) if you have root. So in my case, referencing the Catch-22 in my OP, I was indeed screwed. I rooted, wiped the device, and started the games over. :-(
