I'm flashing ROMs all the time these days and Titanium Backup is definately saving me a lot of time.
However, when I'm restoring my backups, it always dumps them to the INTERNAL storage. So, then I have to use APP 2 SD to move everything to the external. Not the end of the world, but a hassle.
Is there a way to restore to EXTERNAL (SD card)?
* I've tried searching XDA and Google with no answers...

Try going to Menu > Prefs > Restore backups to...
Then you should be able to select the default location/original location/internal/external.
I have original selected, and it puts the app back on the sdcard when I restore.
erase your current back up, make a new one after you get all your apps moved to where you want them, flash new rom. then before restoring, goto menu and pick restore apps to original location. That should work.

I am unsure what options I should choose in the NAND backup section. I usually just leave it on the default (data, system, boot). Backing up only these three will make the ROM to like I had it before correct? Or do I need to select extra options? Thanks
I do em all just to make sure, but would be good to know.

Backing up .android_secure will back up apps that you've moved to the SD card using the built in apps to SD that was introduced in FroYo. Backing up sd-ext will backup your ext partition if you have one. If you don't know what an ext partition is or how to use it, you probably don't have it and don't need to back it up. I have a separate backup of only wimax and don't back it up every time. It isn't something that you need to restore every time, so I'd make a wimax backup once and keep it safe. I can't remember what other options there are, if any. I usually just backup boot, data, and system since I never move apps to my SD card. If they install to my SD card, I move them to internal memory. They run better there, and I've never even come close to running out of internal memory.

I just choose 'perform backup 'at bottom,never had a problem...gets everything I need

I do everything but cache
Nobody knows for sure?
When doing your firsr backup always do 2 backups. One backup with everything unchecked except WIMAX. You always want to keep this backup incase your 4g ever stops working. After that make a backup with only boot system and data checked. Do this and you will be all set. Also I recommend downloading titanium backup and making a backup of every app that you use on a frequent basis.

Thanks man. And I have a backup of my RSA keys that I got through a root method. It has wimax.img in it. Same thing correct?
Since the is no sd card on this phone to save stuff on (i.e. pictures music, etc), when we flash a rom and have to do a wipe , do we lose all of our stuff?
Before you install a custom ROM, make a backup of your current ROM in Recovery. The phone uses built in storage instead of an SD card, but the process for backing up and restoring is the same.

ok do a backup in CWM ? so when I flash after the new rom is on , my folders and files will still be on the built in storage ?
Create a CWM backup and backup the apps you want on titanium. My suggestion for titanium, after you wipe let the market automatically restore your apps and use titanium to restore your data from the apps you want. Most everything like pictures and what's on your internal storage should still be there after wipe, but I would throw them on your laptop or wherever just in case.

The phone does have a "sdcard." Just think of it as a irremovable 16 GB sdcard.
Everything else is the same.
Making a backup is optional, you can do it if you want. Or not do it.
You can always restore yourself back to stock using the stock images provided by Google (google it if you wish to find it).
OK, so backing up my current ROM, takes up alot of memory. I believe you don't have to backup
System
Data
Boot
Recovery
Cache
flexrom (another option to back up even tho i'm not using flexrom at the moment...kinda weird)
Isn't there only 3 of the above you only need to back up technically??
And is there anyway to automatically back up to my external sd card?
and restore from my external sd card?
Cause my internal memory is completely full, mostly from twrp backups it seems like
P.S. in the back up option why does it give me an option for flexrom? and i remember one time it was like over 1000 mb or something, now its only 4mb (currently on aokp)

For a minimal backup to restore you need system and data. Those are the big ones but also the two you need to restore at minimum. If you don't care about settings and apps backup only system.
I suggest at least one backup with recovery and boot just in case something goes wrong with either one.
Cache isn't needed as you should wipe it before booting a restore anyways.
In twrp go to mounts and check use external SD, it will stay that way unless you change recoveries or wipe cache.
I never backup flex unless its an Acer based rom.
You can also move the twrp folder to external SD and your current backups will be available when you switch twrp to external, and you can delete any unneeded backups.

I want to reset my device and restore all apps from TB. The reason is that 1 app is not working for me and I know it used to work before, and nothing I tried worked
Now the questions...
* when I do factory reset, will I loose root? (i suppose not)
* will the data on internal SD be erased? (need to backup, that would be pain)
now, I want to do nandroid backup just in case I don't like something/forget to backup something . The question is
* is there a way to tell how much space the nandroid backup will need? I have a whole lot of apps, my titanium backup folder is like 3gb and I have like ~3gb on ExtSD card so I wonder whether it will be enough
* what does this backup, only system partition/internal memory (where apps are installed)? Or it backups the internal SD card too? (i suppose not)
thanx

I cant answer all...
But these are what i know...
-When you have a stock ROM and you do a factory reset...you will loose root. But if you will install a rooted ROM, it will be rooted again.
-If its stock ROM, i think it will erase even the internal memory. But if it is aosp and your sd card is linked to mnt/shell/emulated/0, it wont.(well...this works for me, ProBam Rom)
-mine is like 1.2 gb because i only have a 300 mb TB backup. (do the math xD)
-it backups system, apps and all...but not the internal memory.
Hope this helps...even a bit. XD

you can use CWM to reset, that won't erase data on SD card. (I know about philz at least, it have option to factory reset with choice)

This will backup SystemROM + Applications you have used, not data on int SD
card
to calculate space needed for nandroid
open file explorer (provided you are not using memory bind/ext-intSd like sw)
select all and check size , say it is -A GB
Open Titanium backup - overview and check free space on int memory , say it's B GB
then total it AGB + BGB = C GB
11GB - C GB = D GB
now add 700 MB to D
that is at least you should have free for nandroid.
Hi all,
I have a big problem, i promised i searched before nut i didn't find anything useful about it.
I installed the Ditto Note 3 v5 on my device, and everything was fine, but after I installed agni kernel, the system went crazy, i did follow the exact procedure, or if i made a mistake i didn't on purpose.
Whatever i had a nandroid backup before installing agni kernel, but now i found my device impossible to write on internal storage, meanwhile the external is fine I can do anything i wish, but the the internal storage no way to create even a folder or a simple file.
I have done that with TWRP 2.7.0.2 as a recovery, and I am really in deeply **** (sorry for the word), because I heavily use my device in my work, I am a "soccorritore", that means like paramedic in USA in ambulance, so it is really the truth i am in deeply ****, because I have all my documents in the internal storage in the nandroid backup, but i don't know how to restore them.
The nandroid backup is 4.58GB, but when i install the nandroid backup the internal storage is 7.5GB left, before with all the data was 5.8GB left in internale storage, so it is missing 1.7GB of data.
PLEASE!
I really need help and as soon as possible, I do not care about myself but documents and people schedules
Hi there, I've also restored one time my Rom through TWRP and couldn't write on the internal Storage anymore. TWRP has a problem with that, use Philz Recovery in future.
So, do you have your documents etc. in some Apps saved or in your internal Storage?
Yes, i do have documents in backup data. The problem is not the rom, in worst cases I reinstall again a new one, but what about the documents?

Well like I said/asked, if your documents are in some Apps, backup them using Titanium Backup on your SD Card. If your files are on the internal storage, you can simply flash a Firmware through Odin and nothing should happen to your data. Or just connect your device to your PC and copy all your files over to your PC.

The problem are not the backup applications, but the documents as I said, they are not in an application, they are in the nandroid backup created from TWRP recovery and the nandroid backup is an md5 format.
You are telling me that titanium backup can restore nandroid backups?
I even thought to use odin, if it can be useful.
No Titanium Backup can't restore backups, it just backups all your apps + data.
A Recovery doesn't backup your whole Internal Storage, it just backups your System Partition etc.
So my thought were, just flash a Firmware through Odin and everything should be alright I guess.
Oh man! I love you
I still like women but I think you know what I mean, I used odin and I restored the entire backup to the device, but still not able to write on the internal storage, but who cares I reflash e new rom, the most important is i can transfer the documents and the data to the external storage and to a computer. I learned a lesson today, I can't describe how do I feel now, and there are no words to describe how much I thank you
