STOP .... There is no jailbreak for iPAD 2.
When a jailbreak exists you would right click on the device in iTunes and click back-up.

what do u mean by there is no jailbreak for ipad 2? im using jailbroken ipad 2.

doing what u suggested wont back up apps and media data...
Connect the iPad to your PC/MAC and open iTunes.
Do not let it sync, however instead right click on device in iTunes and select "Transfer Purchases"
Then it will sync all of the apps and then you can back it up without losing any apps/data.
