If the ipa files are on your computer, back those up normally.

If the unit is running an OS version older than 9.0 and you're using a version of iTunes below 12.7, use the Transfer Purchases function.

Otherwise, you can't. Creating a backup will include their data, and ones still available in the App Store will be downloaded while restoring it.
