For the most part I normally use appextractor to restore apps after flashing a new rom but since i paid for TiBU i figured I'd give it a try. When i select Extract from NANDROID backup the application tells me it cannot find any CWM or TWRP backups. The only location specific options i could find referred to Titanium files, not nandroid ones, so i can't tell it where to look for images.
Is this an issue with the Ion's external SD mount point? I have tried this with the stock 3.7 ROM and with the recent XZXv2, no dice.
In CWM select backup & resore/advanced/backup format ( or something like that as i can't remeber exactly) and choose .tar (Default) then try backup again

is there a reference somewhere for why this has to be done for tibu but appextractor just uses folder backups? if i need something from an older image i would have to restore the image, make a tar backup then use the nandroid extractor. seems like an oversight on titanium's part.
Nandroid is a form of backup that backs up all your system files, applications and their data. It does not, however, backup your kernel. Making a Nandroid backup is really easy. All you have to do is follow the steps given below:
Disclaimer: As Nandroid backs up only system data, if you change the kernel or brick(brick means mess up) your phone while doing backup, I or XDA aren't responsible for whatever happens.
Required-
A Samsung Galaxy Y
Procedure:
Ensure you have at least more than 70% battery as a precaution.
Also ensure that you have at least 700 mb of free space on your SD Card (my backup took 600 mb of space).
1. Download ClockWorkMod from here - View attachment cwm.zip and put into the SD card (not in any folder).
2. Switch off the phone.
3. Reboot to recovery mode by pressing Power + Volume Up + Home buttons.
4. Now there is no touchscreen, so navigate by pressing Volume Up And Volume Down and Home button for selection.
5. Select 'Update from SD card'.
6. select the 'cwm.zip'.
7. Select it.
8. Now, in the CWM menu, there i an option 'Backup and Restore'
9. In that menu, select 'Backup'.
10. There it is! Your Nandroid backup has started!
Now sit back and wait for 5 mins for your system to backup...
11. Now select the 'Reboot now ' option from the menu...
Now you have a Nandroid backup! You can check it by using a file manager and going to /mnt/SD Card/clockworkmod. there you'll find a folder with name of Some date and time. In that the backup resides.
Supposing you want to restore the backup as you have done a wrong tweak, then:
Procedure:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash the 'cwm.zip' ( flash means select that file and 'install the update from SD card').
3. Select 'Backup and Restore'.
4. Then select 'restore' from the menu.
5. It will either show a list where you must choose your backup.
That's it! You have got your old mobile back (in a sense)!
Or maybe you want your Data back after you flash your new ROM:
Procedure:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Flash 'cwm.zip'
3. Select 'Backup and Restore'.
4. Then select 'Advanced Restore' from the menu.
5. There are many new options now. Select 'Restore Data'
6. After the Restoration, reboot the phone.
7. Switch off the phone.
8. Recharge it to atleast 80%.
Now you got all your data in your new ROM. Cool ,isn't it?

First of all,
You don't need to be rooted to do a cwm backup.
You should never try to restore a complete backup done using xyz kernel on the other kernel. Instead from advanced restore, restore system and data. Don't attempt to restore boot since it is brocken on cwm for sgy.

I did a back-up but while restoring user dict. & texts works, restoring apps doesn't (it fails with the message "backup doesn't contain app information"), but the backup is 800+ MB and all MD5 checks out.
Boot Loop
.... and what if i got a boot lopp could i restore my old rom from that backup ?
G*ddamnit! fot the third time while md5 checks out, app says "no data in back-up"! Besides anything other than Titanium that does back-ups?
what does it mean ?
"Don't attempt to
restore boot since it is brocken on
cwm for sgy"...
what does it mean ????

Try restoring the stock ROM using Nandroid IF you have the same kernel. Micromax isnt that famous and I dont use it so I dont know much.

oow, that's why
I used TB yes, but that doesn't work on user dictionary or texts(reason unknown), I figured out that it dóes work with "online nadrid backup", so I've been using that
WARNING!
Make sure you have at least 500MB free on your SDCARD or the Nandroid backup will fail... Just like to pass the warning on as I have only just realised myself. Sorry if it is already mentioned

[Tutorial] Back-Up & Restore from a
Android Device - Unrooted & Rooted
Methods
How to backup & restore all your
data, contacts etc..... on your
Android device running a Non-
Rooted STOCK ROM
*******************************
************
MyBackup
MyBackup works as a perfect
backup & restore utility for Non-
Rooted (as well as ROOTED)
devices running the Android
OS......
The app can be downloaded from
Play Store here : https://
play.google.com/store/apps/
details?id=com.rerware.android.
MyBackup&feature=search_result
(FREE VERSION)
Once installed open the
application and tap the Backup
button, an option will pop up
asking wether you want to backup
your apps or data.....
When you backup your apps via
MyBackup, you will be presented
with an option of either selecting
certain apps you want backed up
or all your apps......
With backing up your DATA you
backup either straght to your
SDCard or to a Online server, for
later restoring..... same with the
app menu you can choose what to
backup or backup the your entire
data on the ROM, when backup is
complete it will create a ZIP file
on you SDCard.......
You can also have a backup
scheduled for a certain time ,
which is a great feature to have
especially if you forget to backup
sometimes.........
To Restore you can simply tap on
the RESTORE button and restore
what you want........
*******************************
************
Manual Drag and Drop
Drag & dropping files from your
Android device whilst connected
to the PC is a easy & fuss free way
of backing up data, contacts,
images and other SD Card data.....
Take a few minutes of your time
to save yourself the heartache if
something unfortunate happens to
your Android device.
******************************
How to backup & restore all your
data, contacts etc..... on your
Android device running a Custom
ROM with Custom Recovery MENU
or Backup Software
Nandroid backup
For ROOTED Users, you will
obviously have a Custom Recovery
installed with your ROM..... As
with most Nandroid recovery
systems you can backup & restore
all data right from this menu.......
There are many custom recoveries
available the most common one
being the ClockworkMod Recovery, Just boot into
the recovery console, tap on the
backup/restore tag, usually
through the menu Backup and
restore > Backup or restore...
To Restore follow the same
method as backup option, boot
into Recovery Mode and select
Backup and restore > Restore.
*******************************
************
Titanium Backup
Another option for rooted Android
users is Titanium Backup.
Titanium Backup gives you direct
access to your system. If you have
not used this program before
make sure to read all release notes
and methods of using the program
as mistakes can be made....
Once you’ve launched the app,
click on the Backup/Restore tab
and click the Menu button on your
phone. From the menu that
appears, select Batch. At the next
menu, click [RUN] Backup all user
apps + system data. You can
choose to backup just your user
apps and system data but you can
choose a complete and total
backup of your phone.
Depending on how much of your
phone you’ve chosen to back up,
the initial backing up process can
take anywhere from a few minutes
to half an hour or even more. Just
like a Nandroid backup, you can
opt to copy the backup file to your
computer. Navigate to the /
Titanium Backup directory on your
device’s SD card and you can find
your backup there, ready for
safekeeping.
When you’d like to restore your
backup, you can enjoy the same
Batch function. Select Menu >
Batch. On the Backup/Restore
menu, scroll down to find restore
options.
************************
I was experimenting with the xposed framework and got stuck in a boot loop after restarting for a second time to install some more modules. The safe mode booting didn't work and neither did the included restore zip file for getting out of it. I tried to restore from the backup on the phone, but it already had the xposed framework in it and it got into a boot loop too!
I tried to adb sideload the backups that I made, and that didn't work either.
I keep backups, made from CWM Recovery, and I pull these to my computer using a WiFi file explorer. (I don't have enough storage to keep two alternative backups so I always have the second stored on my computer)
Anyway, I cant seem to get the restore file that I uploaded to my computer (a restore image) to reload on to my phone and restore. I have attempted to transfer it back to the phone into the folder it came from, but the file wont flash as a zip and it doesn't show up to be restored if I select the restore feature. (BTW-The restores have plenty of SD room to restore on, that isn't the issue)
I realize that the WiFI File Explorer that I use may be zipping the files, so shouldn't I be able to "install zip" in CWM recovery and it restores the image? (apparently not, can you explain why, and what I can do?)
Can I get access to the mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/ to put the file there to be restored again?
Or,.. How do I put the restore file on my phone (in the correct place) to be restored again?
Is my problem being caused by where I am pulling/pushing the file from(mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/)?
What am I missing/doing wrong?
