Ok ok the question is very stupid...
but what is the difference true nandroid and titanium backup ?
i understand that nandroid make a back up also of the rom, instead of titanium backup that make back up only of application and your data
is true ????
thank's
Yep, nandroid backs everything up apart from modem so when you restore the whole lot is restored. Titanium just backs up settings and apps and very useful when you keep switching roms!

Simple answer is NO.
The nandroid backup can only be done after you have rooted. So if you are not yet rooted you can't use it. Also, nandroid is not an app backup system. It will restore your phone to the state it was in directly before you did the backup. This means it will replace your rom, aswell as all other settings.
The only time to use nandroid is before flashing a new rom as a safeguard against the new rom not working or you not liking it.
If you want to backup your games and apps. I'd use titanium backup (requires root) or my backup pro.
what about clockswork backup one? does it backup the applications? and yeah its rooted
Nandroid is nandroid. It will do a complete backup- rom, apps, settings etc. If you use it, it will restore your phone to the old rom.
Think of it as windows system restore. It restores the phone to the state it was in directly before you did the backup. So everything you did after the backup will be undone.
clockswork=nandroid?
Clockworkmod recovery or any other custom recovery you choose has nandroid and it is all the same.
Maybe 3rd time lucky here...... Nandroid in whatever form is not an app. backup system. It is a total phone backup.
ok got it... lock the thread i am done
Hi I want to try the new Cyanogen Mod.
Up to know I'm using RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed
Is it right, that the best wa to safe and restore all data is to use Titanium Backup?
Is there anything that I have to consider else in terms of restoring my old data and apps?
I already did a Nandroid Backup.
How can I sync all my data with Cyanogenmod?
Best and thx,
Blubberor
Back up all apps/data with titanium
when you backup a rom does it backup all the information and apps that were already on the phone?
If you mean a Nandroid backup, then yes. Restoring a backup will return the phone to exactly how it was when you made the backup, including apps, data, settings, etc.

Making a nandroid backup (like the one created in ROM manager) creates a perfect copy of the entire state of the phone exactly how it is when you make the backup. Restoring the backup puts your phone right back to where it was.
Hey I'm just trying to figure out the difference between using Titanium Back up and just making a Nandroid back up... What's the difference?
-Thanks
titanium backup is app to backup your apps (system+ user) and your data but not ROM i.e you cannot make backup of rom with that
whereas nandroid backup does all what titanium do with backup of rom too.
so you can restore titanium backup in any rom(OF YOUR PHONE) and get your data back but if you restore nandroid it will restore whole system including ROM

I'm currently running 2.3.3 stock rom, would it be better to use titanium or make a nandroid back up via CWM?

I do both. A CWM backup is a near-full restore in case something screws your phone over. Titanium Backup is there to help with switching between roms, or backing up apps for safe keeping

Nandroid backup is must as jacklebott said if you mess up with roms and got something wrong no need to flash ftf files and start over again just restore nandroid through cwm and your phone will be like it was before
in case of titanium backup its your choice as if you changed your rom and want apps of your previous rom just restore it
i recommend both as you can save them in your pc too( if your prob. is with sd card space) and when needed copy them to sd card with card reader
I have a couple questions if someone can answer them for me. First off, I have a boost galaxy s3, rooted. Right now I am on CWM, does anyone know if 4ext is compatible with this phone. I went to google play store under 4 ext and on the left it says it is, just want to verify before I install this.
Next question is a little more in depth.
I am in a dilemma. I had a s2 (rooted and on a custom rom)and had issues with the gps, so I upgraded to a s3. I did a nandroid backup and also tit backup of my important apps. After I did this, we pulled out the sd card and they did a factory reset on the s2. I have since rooted my s3 and installed tit backup, but when I go to restore, it says theres nothing to restore. I also went into es file explorer and the tit backup folder is empty. For whatever reason, I don't have the tit backup. I still have the nandroid backup I made on my s2, although I don't have the s2 phone anymore. The data on some of these apps is very important to me and I am crushed that I lost all that. Does anyone know if there is a way to pull apart the nandroid backup to get at this data so tit backup would be able to restore the data from these apps? I only have 2 or 3 of these apps data that I really need. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
You can retrieve information form a Nandroid Backup with Titanium Backup. That being said, I would advice against restoring Data. Unless it's from games. If you do restore Data, try to never restore System Data.
You can also check out Nandroid Manager.
The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Thanks for the response. Will tit backup allow me to pull apart the nandroid backup and find the folder with a particular apps data then, if so, how do I go about doing that?? I looked at the options in tit backup and could not figure out a way to do this. Also, would it be easier to maybe use some program on my pc to do this instead of my phone??

Either one should allow you to Extract Data from a Nandroid. In Titanium Backup you would navigate to : Menu - SPECIAL BACKUP ? RESTORE - Extract from Nandroid backup - Choose the backup. Then let it load up. Choose what you want to restore. Once again I would caution against restoring System Data.
There was a option in tit bu ofr extracting from nandroid bu and it flawlessly to restore my app data to those apps. Thanks for everyones suggestions and feedback.
