Extracting apps from iPhone backup?

I've just had to restore my 1st-gen iPod Touch to factory settings, and have lost all my settings.

I've gone into the library/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backups directory and noticed a number of separate backups, including one made yesterday before restoring to factory settings.

If I backup again, it will create a new, separate backup folder, right?

I've downloaded Reincubate's "Backup Extractor" but am a little confused about how it works. If I select an app to restore, such as Distant Shore, it will restore the version of it that was on my device before I backed up, including all associated application data? If I restore Stanza or eReader, all my e-books will come with it?

Annoyingly, Backup Extractor wants me to pay $25 to be able to copy out more than one single file at a time. Is Backup Extractor really necessary? Can I copy out files by hand if I put them in the right place? (What is the right place?) Is there some free Windows app that will do the same thing?

Did you not actually read my question?

I have Windows. Not Mac.

Unregistered Backup Extractor for Windows extracts only one file at a time. Not one app, one FILE. And I need to restore thousands of them.
