I can'tcreate a single nandroid backup, nor restore old ones when gear shifting my roms and room manager always fails to create a backup, it's tragic.

Are you booting into recovery, or using ROM Manager? I've had issues in the past w/ ROM Manager actually creating a backup, but if I reboot into cwm and start a backup, it works fine.
As for restoring prev. nandroids, are you changing the name of the file/folder of your backup? From what I've heard, it cannot have any spaces between characters, make sure it's a . or - or something.
Hope that helps!
I've tried using cwm and ROM manager and none of them work, I'm wondering if I should use my internal SD.

If that doesn't work, you can try reflashing cwm through Odin
I'll give it a whirl.

Is there any app that can restore app and data from the TB folder? Using TDJ's Darkside Evolution beta2 and restoring data gives me issues.

Don't think so. But do what I did and restore what you want with Tb. Then use Root Tool Box to back up apps and app data then after that flash a clean install of Rom and instead of using Tb. Use Root Tool Box to restore. Worked like a charm. No reboot or shutdown issues! Good luck hope that helps!

I had a post made on my old account about app2zip. It can be a little buggy but in the right hands with the right tweeks to make it pics stable it did a fine job on gb.

Just restore with "APP Only" option.
or, copy the Titanium backup folder to an SD card and use 7zip to unzip the tar.gz containing the apk.
Alright so I'm on JB, rooted, Kt kernel and I wanted to factory reset my phone to see if battery life will improve because I've heard it works for some.
My question is, is it better to backup through Kies, reset, and restore from kies backup or will I risk bringing back theb (maybe) source of problems by doing it that way?
Or suck it up and restore from a TWRP or CWM backup. The only reason I prefer the Kies backup is because I hardly have enough memory left on my SD card to hold a Nandroid backup.
Thoughts?

I always hate dealing with kies but i get the issue of memory. That's why i like extra sd card space makes it easier for backups. I prefer cwm but its Ur call

Will the CWM backup include all the pics, texts, etc.?

Do a nandroid on external SD that's where I do mine. Also use titanium you can back it up to dropbox , box or Google.

Nandroid on external sd. As far as the pictures go. I have mine default save to the sd. I normally do not format the external sd during restores, backups or rom swaps. So the pictures always remain.
However, one time I left the the sd card installed when I was returning to stock via oden. It wiped both internal and external. So now when oden is involved I pull the external. Just to be sure.

So now to my understanding in TWRP the option to create image.zip is just creating a backup that I can flash right through Odin like a rom as opposed to the option to create a backup?
What can I do with that option to create a backup? Is that also an odin flashable zip?

Usually Odin doesn't flash zips but it creates a flash able zip through cwm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yea I meant CWM. Thats the recovery I had installed that allowed me to create the image.zip
So basically that just creates the exact state that my phone is in and allows me to flash it via cwm to get right back to that state.

Yep exactly just so u can revert in case of mistakes
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
okay, so If i make a nandroid backup I know what things it saves.
I just wanted to make sure, when it restores applications, does it restore the downloaded ones from the android store? like temple run and such?
ALSO when i perform a restore, Does it automatically flash the old rom with data or must I first flash the rom of the backup and then preform the restore?
THANKS
It restores your phone to the exact same way it was when you made the backup. All you have to do is reboot after restoring and it will be exactly the same as before the backup.

Since when does CWM not restore kernel? Lol. If it didn't restore the kernel, going from TW to AOSP (or vice versa) wouldn't boot

I have never had a problem restoring anything, I just backed up a new task ROM, I also backed up a new illusion ROM. I will go to restore from backup and it just boot loops on either 1. Anything prior to these latest releases and backups will restore but 2 separate ROM's with the latest releases will not restore from backup they both stay in boot loop. Totally clueless, I have formatted wiped you name it it will only restore a backup from a ROM o backup on Jan 4th. Only happening newer released backed up ROMs.

Try flashing a different kernel.

Did you change from clockwork mod to Team Win recovery, or visa versa? The two aren't compatible and might cause that.
No same as I always do...I flashed ktoonez kernel 1.10

It really sucks, I restored a back up from 1/4 just fine, but as soon as I download and install the latest update to that Rom day illusion, and save it as a new back up, no go on restore

I had to go to stock via odin because my backups weren't working(they always have before) after I flashed PACman rom and didn't like it. Once I got back to stock I tried restoring from my backups again and they don't get an error or anything but after I restart the phone is still completely clean without any of my data restored on to it. What do? Thanks
Edit: When it gets to restoring data it says .android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Sounds like a corrupt backup, you may be SOL. I could be wrong though and someone else will chime in. Good luck.

It's not a corrupt backup. They've all worked previously.
Maybe you could try reinstalling the custom recovery in Odin.

I have tried that and I've tried both my backups from twrp and cwm
Are you sure that the backups were able to fully restore previously?
