reinstalling Arch and all it's applications

I want to reinstall Arch to layout my storage a bit better.

Is there a way to dump my present pacman db and re-import it into the new install. I essentially want to keep all existing applications. Including those from the AUR if that is possible.

Clone somewhere, change layout, clone back, fix fstab & bootloader and you're done.

Don't be a vampire, there is lots of documentation available. If none of that is suitable, explain what you've read and why it doesn't work for your use case.
