Are there any apps that will automatically backup my ROM image similar to how windows system restore does it?

I made a backup when i first decided to flash a ROM on my phone, but i didn't know about apps like titanium backup at that time, where i can just backup an app or game and also backup the data along with it.
is there a way to get into any of the image files from the nandroid backup and retrieve data like game saves/data and stuff?
You could always backup your current ROM, restore the old ROM, install titanium, restore your current ROM and use titanium to get back the old stuff.

Do a search for a tool like unyaffs. You can use it to extract the data partition from your nandroid backup. Then you can grab the data from whatever apps you are trying to restore individually and copy the files back to your phone.
Apparently, Titanium Backup can not make a backup of all the cyanogenmod specific system settings. Within Titanium Backup, there is a system file called CM SETTINGS but it does not contain the necessary data to perform a restore on the cyanogenmod specific system settings.
Is there a way to manually copy the settings? Does anyone know what files would need to be backed up? I am getting really tired of redoing all my custom Light Levels for the Automatic Brightness when I do a full system wipe.
Best Regards.
I can't think of where it is off the top of my head but I think those are in secure_settings.db
You will probably run into parsing errors because this database is build on the first boot
I was wrong. Titanium Backup is capable of doing a complete restore on all the cyanogen specific settings. I just had to use a Batch restore and select everything instead of trying to restore manually each piece at a time. Great.

Didn't work for me.
For some reason, the normal settings are Backed up and restored, but not cyanogen. The icons are there, and are all selected.
For me it worked without any Problems
The critical system components are "green". Make sure you backup those before you try to restore the cyanogenmod specific settings. I think the latest version of Ti Backup now backs up the wallpaper settings in another system component.
Hey, what does those recoveries backup?
I mean - System data/User data..
I just made a ZIP backup with CWM (6.0.2.3) and it's only 312MB (~430MB Unzipped),
and when I used TWRP I remember it was ~920MB (.win files).
In the TWRP backup there are cache, data, recovery, efs, system and boot files,
and in the CWM there are only system and boot.
I only need system backup because I backup the apps I need with TiBa.
(Is there anything else that I should backup?)

the Clockwork backup is a complete image of the phone. the recovery partition, boot partition, apps, and data. you could load a ROM onto your phone and have it not work to your liking and turn around and use the Clockwork recovery to reload the saved image and be exactly back where you were before the ROM got loaded.
on the other hand, about the best app to backup other apps and data is Titanium Backup. they don't get much better than that app for backing up your phone and having as many ways to accomplish that task as you could ask for.
Weird..
TWRP made a complete backup and it's 900MB,
and in the CWM backup ZIP there is only system.tar and boot.img.
TiBa backups only apps (and their data), doesn't it?
I need a backup of my ROM..
TWRP's backup is the ROM and the apps, and CWM's backup is the ROM only?

No CWM backs up everything it always has done.

Today I was restoring my apps from CWM backup through nandroid manager after flashing new ROM..my CWM backup was compressed(medium compr)..nandroid manager app asked to decompress the backup to restore apps and data.due to some reason my phone restarted in 85% of decompression process! now my backup is corrupt
Is there any way to recover my data from backup(my backup is still ~2.5gigs..
Hey guys, quick question. When I go to do a backup in TWRP, I have the option to select System or System Image. What's the difference/benefits of both?
Thanks!
I found a good answer on the TWRP website:
What should I back up in TWRP?
The default backup options in TWRP are system, data, and boot. For most cases, this is sufficient for backing up a ROM. (Note that in some rare cases, boot i...

"A system image backup takes up more space than a regular system backup, but the system image backup is a bit-perfect backup that, when restored, will not break dm-verity (assuming that you don’t break dm-verity before making the backup)."
