There is an option in PKGBackup to backup your App Store apps.

Press on the gear icon in the upper left. Then, you can select "Scan applications on startup." This will cause PKGBackup to scan and prepare all your App Store apps for backup.

To be honest - I'd just stick with iTunes. I tried to use PKGBackup once for App Store apps ... once! I had over 150 apps on the iPad and it took hours (!) for PKGBackup to scan them all to prepare for backup. Then, it took hours more (!) to do the backup. No thanks. Too much time.

Now, I use PKGBackup for Cydia stuff and iTunes for stock apps. Works well and I can do a restore in about an hour. Of course, YMMV.
