Working from memory from when I last did this on my N1..
To be on the safe side, it may be worth logging into your AppBrain account on your PC first and copy your list (I keep a copy of my installed apps in a separate list (my 'Safety List').
1. Install AppBrain app and sign in.
2. DO NOT SYNC!!
3. Perform installs
Note that you will find that appbrain automatically takes you to the market for each app in turn, working in batches of 10. Make sure you're logged into wifi first, and have a nice cup of tea / coffee handy
The really good news is that the Google backup in Froyo seems to restore all apps now - last time I reset my N1 I had all 72 apps restored automatically

thanks guys, my backup from mybackup pro was corrupt on the apps, but thankfully not on phone data, appbrain saved the day

So, is Google backup something separate? Or do I just go to the market and my downloads and (auto) reinstall them.
Back when I had to swap out my defective droid, the app store only took care of my purchased apps.
Thanks!

The backup functionality is an option in the stock Froyo (for an N1 bought outside of contract at least) under Settings - Privacy. It restores wireless network settings, apps and other stuff. It worked smoothly on my last reset but I had varying results before that. I use the Appbrain app to sync my installed apps in case the Google restore doesn't work.
Its still on my 2.2 phone. Eighth option down I believe.
Not true, when I had to have my Droid replaced in Feb all my installed apps (well, most of them) were reinstalled on the new phone once I logged into my Google account on the phone.
I'm glad to hear that it worked for you. All I can say is that unfortunately it did not work for me and google support said that it wound not work on a new phone, only the same phone. This was going from a Nexus one 2.2 to another Nexus one 2.2. Now something may have happened that caused it not to work and perhaps google support gave me bad info. It wouldn't be the first time. I am just reporting what happened when I tried it.
That's really weird. It's not there anywhere on my settings menu.
Personalize, wireless & networks, call, sound, display,
accounts & sync, location, search, connect to PC, security, applications,
sd & phone storage, date & time, lang & keyboard, accessibility,
voice input & output, about phone.
That's it.
I think HTC took out the Privacy menu.

I realize I'm preforming major thread necromancy right now, but I found this thread threw a google search and it helped me and I thought I'd add what I did.
After installing appbrain and logging in it automatically synced, so what I had to do, was go on the appbrain webpage and I then saw that thre were 2 lists, "apps on the phone" and "apps on the samsung galaxy s" (the phone i was using) so I simply added all the apps from on the phone to the galaxy s and it popped up on my phone when i synced.

Thanks Valiant Cookie for chiming back in, the alternate listing for phone under AppBrain just saved me too. I had to do a Sprint Tech support suggested full wipe of my EVO. Didn't solve the problem so I am getting another EVO sent my way and will have to get my apps back yet again.
Thanks much.
