I'm currently using mybackup pro to do backups and restores between rom installs. It retains market links, application databases, and other system settings. My only problem is that it is SO SLOW to backup and restore. It takes probably over and hour to backup my applications and another hour to restore them. I don't even have that many. Is there any quicker way of doing this? I'd like to be able to install a new rom sometime before the singularity.

Go to the Market and use Titanium backup. It backs up your apps over to your SD card along with app data. You can batch the backups and restores as well as schedule your backups. You can also use AppBrain. It updates which apps you download from the Market and then does a back up. But I think App brain only works with market apps. I'm not 100% on Appbrain.

How long does it take for titanium backup to do its thing?

The back up takes me a few minutes. 10 if I have a ton of apps. The restore is pretty annoying since you have to click install for EVERY APP YOU HAVE.

I realized this after running a backup and installing a new rom. Looks like you have to buy the pro version. I did and it restores automatically.

I'm looking for the best possible solution to backup my apps and apps settings (Handcent Gmail, etc) so when I flash a new rom I'm able to open up the app thats already configured relativity head ache free.
Is this something apps 2 sd would do?
MYBACKUPPRO, TITANIUM BACKUP, ASTRO FILE MANAGER, etc etc - Just search the market for "backup" and google the diff apps to see the features of each.
+1 for Titanium

DITTO makes everything easier
Titanium for sure
dunno about mybackup pro but titanium backup donate has gotten me out of some stupid situations before. It does the apps / data / system data all seperate and lets you restore each or all at once...going to and from CM6 and keeping two roms updated to play around with has never been easier.
Titanium backup. Back up app+data.
If you are going to a new rom and not the same rom it is best to install the apps fresh and not install the apps using Titanium back up. The apps that are saved are saved with the first roms settings and sometimes just the littelest diffrence could cause all sorts of issues leading to FC's or something else.

Didn't know Ti had this issue but MyBackup Pro doesn't. I've flashed different roms to test (always gone back to Fresh because it's just my preferred) and MBPro has always restored apps+data with no issues. The newest version finally doesn't list SU, which always gave me errors back then until I figured not to restore it. Anyways, Ti and MBPro are both great options.
I came over from windows mobile and am some what of an android noob. After you flash a ROM is there anyway to restore apps so they dont lose data, I dont want to start over on amgry birds.

I use MyBackupPro, there's also Titanium Backup. Both are paid applications in the market.

Using Clockwork Recovery (check development forums), and depending on the flashing instructions, I usually:
save the rom to Sdcard/
boot into clockwork
backup and restore > backup (makes a full backup)
Wipe Data, (clear cache if they tell you to),
apply zip (rom) from SD
then back to Backup and Restore > advanced > select your backup > restore Data only.
Then reboot, and you should be good to go with your saved Angry Birds game
Mybackup pro worked like a charm.

Mybackup works well but you on't want to backup and restore data if you frequently switch roms/kernels. So if it's just the apk you are trying to save then astro more than gets the job done.

Lol, that's what I get for not paying attention to the op.
Titanium Backup Pro will restore your backup with one click. It has saved countless hours from switching ROMS all the time. It is well worth it to get the paid app because you can let it start restoring and walk away. The free app requires you to click "Yes" to restore each app, one at a time.
I also use the back up and restore feature of LauncherPro so I don't have to keep redoing my home screen setups.
Once you have these two apps in play you don't have to be shy about trying as many different ROMs as possible.

Don't restore system stuff or apps + data using Titanium, it will cause issues

Is APK Batch Installer, [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531880 ], a better option ?
Or, in the end all data restoring is not a good idea if switching between android versions?
All data restorations can cause problems, not just TB.

I really like the new ICS Folders, but do tend to flash a lot. Any way to back them up so you don't have to re-create them every time you flash a new rom?
OR, does anyone know of a folder app that has a similar style to the ICS folders?
bump ... wanna know the same thing!

Nope, not that I'm aware of. You could use a third-party launcher like LauncherPro or ADW that has homescreen backups, but I'm not sure any of them have the same kind of folder capability.
I backed up mine using titanium backup pro and it restore back all my apps including my folders. I did had to setup all my widgets back though.

I didn't realize titanium would backup the ISC folders... I guess next time I load a rom, I will give that a try. Thanks

the folders should be tied to the launcher. so backup that up with titanium or similar app.

Get that, but how do you backup the stock launcher?
can this be done with the free version?

The Free version of TiBackup works just the same for backing up and restoring. But the paid version gets you batch 1-click restore, and several other advanced features.

When I was flashing new ROMs, titanium backup was not restoring my ICS folders. However, if you use the Nova Launcher, which is based on ICS and do a titanium backup of that launcher, when you restore, your folders come back.
It's the little things in life that make me happy !
Nova Launcher is really nice !
I backed up the stock ics launcher with titanium, and restored just the data..not the app. This worked fine to restore my folders, but I had to re-create a couple of shortcuts for apps that 'weren't installed' after flashing peter alfonso's 4.03 nightly. It seems to me that the launcher itself might change between 4.02/4.03, so I wanted to play it safe and keep just the data. To be honest...even keeping the data from 4.02 makes me nervous. I just don't know enough about it.
With all the ROM switching I do. Is it possible to backup all your settings and apps, flash your ROM, and then restore your apps? Something other than Titanium.
Why not Titanium?

I guess to be honest, even though it isnt much, i'm looking for something free that will restore all my apps at once and not one by one manually. Don't get me wrong Titanium works great. Tried GO backup but it won't do a batch save over 200 mb.

It is worth buying it..
It is soo damn easy to back up and restore.
Check out my backup root here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot
The free version is fully functional. I bought the pro version as it will allow backing up from one phone and restoring on a different phone. I use this almost as much as I use root explorer lol.
Is there any app that can restore all apps+data where I don't need to re-download and re-organize my apps all over again? I came from iOS and iTunes pretty much restores my phone and all the apps exactly the way I had it if I were to switch to a new iOS device. I was hoping android could do the same. For example I have apps in folders but when I keep flashing roms and I try to restore my backups I never get all my apps restored and I even have to download lots of apps all over again. I have the paid Titanium Backup Pro, MyBackUp Pro, Rom ToolBox Pro and I've used TWRP.
All of those apps will do that. I have both titanium and rom toolbox. I prefer titanium. It's fast and let's me backup and restore sms/mms too

I use Titanium Pro to batch backup then restore APPS and APP Data. Works great with about 100 or so apps I have on my device.
Then only SYSTEM data I restore is call logs/messages.
Sorry I wasn't clear. I am saying that those apps that I have paid for I have also used and not a single one will do a mirror restore after I flash a rom. Even if I go back to stock rom and restore I still have to download old apps and almost always have to remake every page and folder. What I am asking is if there is an app or program like iTunes that can do a mirror restore where all the hard work doesn't have to be repeated every time I flash a new rom?

Some launchers (I use Nova) have a backup/restore for your layout so you don't have to keep redoing it. Is that what you mean? Placement of your widgets, folders, and apps and such?
I use titanium backup and it restores everything for me. After flashing, download titanium and run batch restore. Mine even sets up nova how I had it. Titanium works, I use it almost every day. I flash alot and only clean flash. I can have my phone all set up in like ten minutes.
