Hello.
I transfered everything from the sdcard to the pc. Then I reseted my phone and transferred everything back on the sdcard. But now I don't get the option to restore the backup.

You didn't use any automatic backup app. You have to manually reinstall apps.

I had a failed Nandroid restore. I can see the following on my PC:
Android_Secure
boot
cache
data
nandroid.md5
recovery
system
All are .img files except for the nandroid. Is there a way to move my contacts back over to my phone? I'd appreciate any help as I have a lot of contacts. I'm currently running another ROM.
Google Contacts sync is looking pretty good right now, eh?

back them up with google, thats what i have been doing and im able to swap android phones and keep my contacts
I thought I had done a Google backup, but then I realized that most of my contacts had been created to the phone and not Google. So I was only able to restore the handful that were backed up to Google. Now, back to my original question. Anyway that I can restore those .img files back to the phone?
I'd really appreciate any help.

So just to confirm, your nandroid is corrupt? If so then you are more or less SOL AFAIK. I don't know exactly if you can mine out contact information from the backup.
Yes it must be corrupt as it keeps erroring when I try to install.

For future reference you can go to your contacts and hit menu/export contacts, and it will save them to your sdcard.

make sure your battery level is not too low when you try and restore nand. Also what recovery are you using?

How the hell do u back your contacts up to Google?? Whenever I sync to Google from 'accounts and sync' nothing happens..and now i have successfully deleted all my contacts from my phone after clearing the Contacts app data cache, which i read might help...Luckily i have nandroids to pull the data from.. How exactly do i go about re-flashing the contact data back to the phone from the nandroid, so i can then back em up to Google/export them the the sdcard?? (without restoring the entire nandroid)
Idk if its my ROM or what..but its frustrating..

What you can do is try to do the google sync again, hopefully it should work. Then go into you contacts, push menu, and should give you the option to copy and do an import/export of contacts.
Yeah, i'm doing a full nandroid restore now to get my contacts back, then ill back em up to the sd card, flash a new ROM, then restore em and hopefully Google sync will work then..hopefully

Can't you reinstall them with motomizer? If not, a factory reset would probably do the trick.

thats what i thought
but it didnt restore the apps.
1) I installed motomizer
2) I deleted the email apps via Motomizer
3) I did a factory reset (forgot to restore the apps via motomizer)
4) Formated the MicoSD (which deleted the backup app from motomizer)
Now i dont have the email apps even after a factory reset
I installed motomiser again after reset, but the apps i deleted prior to the reset are not there in the restore tab maybe because i formated the MicroSD where they were backed up by motomizer.
Bumps ANyone?
Guys so I got a backup made with Titanium backup up on my Pixel XL however when I go to restore it for some reason cant find the folder. I know its there because I can see it when I connect to my pc through USB. Any suggestions?
Also this appears to be the same case with my backup pro, It shows my restore on my pc and through backup app but when I go to restore it continues to process yet never installs the apps?
Thanks for any and all help.

I dunno. The only time I've seen this behavior is when someone screws with the storage settings in TB.
TB should be working perfectly with default storage settings on our phone.
Unlike if you were backing up to an external SD, then you would need to choose provider-storage or something weird like that in TB storage settings.
I'd wipe your TB data/cache and try again.
Hello.
When I unlock the bootloader, will the applications and settings remain, or will the phone be in the factory settings? If the bootloader is in the factory settings after unlocking, how can I back up my applications with data?
Thanks

It will factory reset and wipe everything on the phone like files and photos, so backup everything to your PC before unlocking

You can't backup to your PC. The best you can do is go into settings and backup your settings to Google drive /mi account and WhatsApp backup and other app's internal backup features. Also copy all your photos and files onto your PC. Other then that you will lose a small amount of data

You can do app data backup and restore only if you have root and for root you need an unlocked bootloader. So no easy way out of this

What is the best backup solution that can backup appdata and apps and system settings?
Google backup? I've been wondering this myself, but haven't found anything but Google's backup/restore. :|
For apps and their data, i suggest SwiftBackup. You connect it with your google account for cloud backup (paid) or create a local folder that you can tranfer to usb drive (free) and use it to restore back to your phone or any other device.
It also backs up call logs and messages and wifi networks.

I bricked/un-bricked my phone last night and successfully restored all apps and data with Migrate (NG version downloaded from their telegram channel). Not sure about system settings... I prefer a clean start with those so I didn't try.

Migrate is also a viable solution. I had a problem with their sdcard enabler on another phone so used swiftbackup instead. Very satisfied.

The best I've seen(must be root) Swift Backup(Google play store). You can back up messages, call logs, and most importantly apps, app data, ext data, system apps, ext data. Awesome app and easy to sync to dropbox, drive, etc.

Thanks for this - Question - Can you still get all app & ext data without being rooted? (Yes I'm a root idiot, sorry)!

I had issues with Migrate on an older phone as well (OP 7Pro) , but so far on this phone it has been solid.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do incremental backups of only modified data? I've used Swift Backup but it doesn't seem to be an option. Swift has an option to back up only "updated apps" but I could care less whether the apk was updated... I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

Did not see any option for that in the app. You can do it manually by renaming theold backup folder and redoing existing backup option. I think that would work.

Wouldn't that just back up everything again? Or maybe I don't follow what you mean.

Yes, back up everything again but since you rename the old backup folder you end up with 2 incremental backup. At least that how i see it but it would be a pain to do that if you want nighly backups.
The only other idea may be to set a scheduled backup (paid). Just took a look, it say you can have customisable backups in premium (which i don't have) maybe someone can tell us what that contains?

You're talking about multiple backups, I'm talking about incremental/differential backups, where only modified data is backed up. The purpose is for smaller size and faster backups so they can be run daily or even multiple times a day. I save my backups to google drive and "all apps" is about 20 GB for me. It's insane to upload that much every single night when most of it hasn't changed, but I want my backups always up to date for the next time my phone is bricked unexpectedly. I do have premium, but the option to back up only modified data isn't there. I'm looking for an app that can do that, like Titanium Backup did flawlessly.
