iPad data transfer when I change computers?

I just got a new computer. As I understand it iPads won't synch to a new computer unless they are factory reset, which also trashes their data.

I really don't want to lose some of my program files, but fortunately I still have the computer that the iPad was originally synched to and it works. (Sorta)

If I preform once last backup of my iPad on the old computer, can I then take the files (particularly the apps) transfer them to the new computer and restore them? And if I do so, will my saves within the apps be preserved, or will I have to start over?
