Hello all!
I try to search around but I didn't find any answer to my question.
What difference is there between the backup of CWM and programs like titanium backup or other?
Thanks everybody for the answers...
Titanium backup backs up each app individually, you can restore and delete each app at will. Cwm on the other hand backs up the whole phone to one file minus the kernel+modem.

Is there a way titanium backup can create different lists, like one list to restore app+data and another just app?
When I reflash new roms, I like to just restore app on some apps and not the data since different roms can't be compatible on some things...

Best way to do this is to rename the folder "Titanium backup" to a new name after doing each backup. You just need to revert the name when you restore.

Use clockworkmod to do a backup, backs up the entire phone or titanium backup to backup just apps and data.
For just SMS I use WaveSecure.

Any of these requires root?
I reckon, clockwork needs root.
Titanium Backup needs root too, fyi
and, so, as you require root for both, have clockworkmod create a nandroid backup...
the created backup is stored on your sd card, make sure you copy it to another location as well (in case your sd card gets crippled )
Seems like both app needs root.

nope, it does not seem like....
they DO require root...
also, quick question for this thread:
if i create a nandroid backup, do i still need to worry about my apps completely working (and therefore should also create a Ti backup)?

Nandroid backup is indispensable if everything goes tits up, so I make one prior to flashing a new ROM, at least then I know worst case scenario I can get back to where I am now. I use Ti to restore apps and, more importantly, their associated data after doing a clean install of a ROM, also I can schedule Nandroid to regularly backup apps and data for me
Can anyone tell me how to upgrade to gingervillan from the defrost 6.1 rom without losing my data and settings? Do I do a nandroid or titanium backup? I'm kinda new to the rooting scene.

You will lose your settings as you are flashing a new Rom.
1. To keep apps: titanium backup (backup apps + data)
2. If you want to keep other data such as messages etc: my backup pro (this can backup your apps too but rather use titanium for apps)

backup files are on ur microsd , nand backup should be in clockworkmod folder (if u're using clockworkmod recovery) , as for apps backed up by titanium they are in the titanium folder
when u do a wipe and flash a new ROM,just install titanium again and restore the apps u want.

Actually settings can be saved, too (Homescreen, Icons, widgets, Messages, WiFi etc. ) with Titanium backup.
you should also ofcourse do a NANDbackup if you ever want to go back to your old rom. when you restore a NANDbackup everything will look the same as before the rom change.
Hi... Like everybody here, I love to try new roms, versions, etc... The problem is that everytime we full wipe our phone, we obviously lose everything.
I was looking for some tools to help me to backup/restore my apps (including swype, which seems impossible to backup) quickly. Titanium backup can't restore automatically... What about Rom toolbox pro? Worth it?
Thanks
There's always cwm which will backup whole ROM it includes apps and data, combined with titanium you can restore phone back to stock.
Cwm will not back up automatically.

I don't want to backup to stock or restore the rom... I just want to have my apps and data back quickly when I change my rom...
Titanium Backup up is simply the best. Also My Backup Root is worth trying.
Titanium is good but the noisy thing about it that you should press install for every app you restore.
if u tried Titanium Backup Pro you wouldn't ask expect for auto restore

I use titanium backup to backup my apps. So I don't have to download it again from market after formating my device. Still I have apps that I have backup last December. I restore backup after installing any mod or formatting the device. I didn't face any problem yet.

Titanium backup makes a backup of any app that you want - may it be a system or a user app to the sd card. It even backs up the data of that application - for example if you backup angry birds, then even your progress level gets backed up. Now, when you want to restore your backup the only requirement would be to have superuser access ( rooted phone ). When you restore a backup, you will have an option of only app or app+data. If you select app+data then you will get your angry birds progress back! That's how tb works.:good:
