Best backup

Please everyone, what is the best backup so far for HTC Desire? Backup pro or Nand backup or Titanium backup?

I use Titanium Backup and it works really well. I haven't tried the others as I've had no reason to seek out an alternative.

Stupid question maybe, i know that Titanium backup all the app and app data..this means backup also the sms messages?

Anyone?? Will Titanium backup do a backup of SMS messages/Call Logs??

I use my backup pro. It savers all sms mms etc... Don't know if it stores app data tho

titanium backs up everything, wallpaper, app settings, game high scores, wifi connection settings, custom keyboard dictionary, system settings,....
Literally THE LOT apart from the actual ROM itself.
If you wanna take a 'snapshot' of the phone for backup purposes, just use NANDroid from clockworkmod. Only problem is you can't refresh those kind of backups, you've got to manually do new backups and delete old redundant ones.

I use an app called SMS Backup & Restore. It works really well and it had scheduled backups, etc. It's also free. What you can do is have Titanium Backup make a backup of SMS Backup & Restore and then use that to restore SMS.
NOTE that SMS Backup & Restore stores your backed up messages onto the SD card so when you do a factory reset before installing new ROMs, it DOESN'T wipe your messages.

Hi all
I am running the stock rooted froyo rom...i am also s-off and have installed a2sd+ and almost all my apps have been automatically shifted there....
My question is, if i wanna flash a new rom how can i retain those apps and its state (like lvl 2 in a certain game)...is there a way to backup and restore?

Titanium backup in the Market, there's a free and a paid version.

Free version backs it up just as the paid one.
The main difference in the paid version I noticed is when restoring, you don't have to click anything when batch restoring.

With free version you have to backup and restore every App manual.
If you have 100+ Apps, it will take a long time....

App question

Good morning guys! Is there any way to save your market apps instead of having to download them everyone you change to a new ROM?

Titanium backup?

Probably the most useful program you will see mentioned all over these forums is "Titanium Backup". It is the best. It will back up all of your apps and the data associated with them. It will also back up your system data, which can be useful if you are restoring to a new device with the same ROM, but can break things (obviously) if you're switching from one ROM to a different one.
The free version of TB will allow you to restore your apps one at a time, and the paid version (recommended) has a batch mode, where you can restore everything in one go.
Of course TB requires a rooted device. If you are not rooted, you could use the backup feature of a program like Astro File Manager, but it is limited. It cannot back up the data for the apps (your Angry Birds high scores will be lost! ), and certain apps are "locked" and cannot be backed up unless you're rooted.

Thanks for the help! I already have the paid version of titanium backup. Just Jane to figure it out now! Lol

google
lots of free apps that do this
Titanium backup
carbon
is another

Doesn't HTC have built in solution for this?I thought I see something about this during setup ....
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

During setup you can configure with pc and with bluetooth some file from desire to one
If you're rooted on desire, you can use titanium, if not, you can use carbon

if you just want to transfer the apk's without data, you can just copy all the apk files from data/app/ to your computer then copy them to your new phone and install them manually also.

Use titanium backup to put all your backed up apps into an update.zip, transfer it to the One and flash away to get back all your apps and data

I already sorted it last week.

Use an app called Helium. With it you can back up your apps to your phone, computer, or Dropbox. You have the option of backing up just application data, or both the appdata and the app.
When you launch Helium on the new device, you can just restore from the method of your choosing. It takes only a few moments before you have all your apps back as well as all of the applications' settings/data.

Best Backup for HTC One M8?

I need to return my phone for a replacement through amazon, and I'm wondering what the best way to backup my phone is? I've tried searching around on XDA and it's a bit overwhelming. HTC and google offer some sort of backup but I'm not sure what is being saved and there are other threads for different phones. If possible, I'd like to just be able get it set up where it's just like I never got a new phone with all the files and settings the same way. Also to have apps backed up too.
My phone is NOT rooted.
Thanks

If you are not rooted, make sure in settings you have enabled Google backup. Once you get your new phone and login with Google account select restore and it will auto download all your apps. But it will not download the app data. There are other solutions like backup apps like helium and titanium backup. I know helium works without root not sure about titanium backup. If you are rooted titanium backup is the best out there and it will restore all the apps and it's data.
The stock Google backup and reset is not good, but that's all we have currently. Hopefully it's better in the next version and we can restore app data as well from Google restore.

Is there an easy way to backup files? I suppose I could just transfer them to a PC but if there's a way I can do it with like with Helium that you suggested, that'd be great.
What about phone settings? Will helium take care of that as well?
Thanks
