In the pacman's wiki page (italian translate) [1] there's a procedure that you could do. With this procedure you can install all the package that you have now in the new system after the re-installation of Arch. First you have to do a package's backup # pacman -Qqe > pkglist after that you must save the file pkglist in an USB drive or where you want. In the new Arch, browse in the directory that contains the pkglist file and type # pacman -S $(cat pkglist) all of your "old" package will be re-install in the new Arch.
