I've been using the adb backup from the toolkit to backup and restore when I wipe and was just wondering what the difference is? Is nandroid less likely to have residual data or is there no difference?

Follow the steps above, BUT after you Odin recovery do a nandroid backup BEFORE you root with the superuser zip. This way your backup won't have root access.
Now you don't have to root at all, but at least you'll have access to recovery and have a stock backup and SU zip file handy in case you do want to root.

thank you sir, i just didnt want to reinstall all the apps and stuffs that i already had on here before root. yeah its a small thing but still would like to save the settings i had and whatnot on them.
there's no way to perform a full back without root
all the good backup Apps requires root to work
namely Nandroid (in CWR) or Titanium Backup
Where does nandroid store the backup? I was going to restore a backup, after data wipe, wipe cache, and wipe system/dalvik. I always wipe these when installing any ROM on my Vibrant and now SGS II. No backup exists now.
It must be one of the areas I wiped. I need to know so I don't wipe my backups anymore?

Thats not exactly true... Nandroid backup can be done in cwm without root.

I upgraded my rom without doing a titanium backup, And i have everything in a nandroid but i cant figure out where the saves are kept and how to put them on my current rom.
Thanks
Do it the hard way.
Android your current ROM.
Wipe, restore your old nandroid, do a titanium backup, wipe again, restore nandroid you just made now restore your game saves in titanium.

I made backup for all user+system apps including data and flashed new ROM. What do you recommend to restore now? Only user apps or system apps + data as well? I'd like to restore as much as possible, but I'm not sure how system data is compatible accross different ROMs.
I don't recommend you to restore system data with an exception of data usage of you use it. However, if you don't want to set up everything again, you should have too much trouble with restoring non-custom Rom related settings

The safe way is to restore only user apps+data. However, you can try this:
1. Restore user apps+data
2. Make a nandroid backup
3. Restore system data
You could restore the nandroid backup if you encountered problems after restoring the system data.

Hello there
I recently performed a full Nandroid Backup because I was going to install the latest SkyDragon Sense 7 ROM but instead of just wiping the data and system, I decided to format the device in order to do a fresh, clean install. I forgot, however, that obbs don't get backed up with Titanium Backup and there are a couple of games I play that are heavy in size that I don't want to download again if it is possible to restore those obbs from the Nandroid backup.
Would my only option be to restore the Nandroid Backup itself or is there a way around it?
Thanks!
So I couldn't boot into the ROM and made a TWRP backup of my data partition and then reflashed the ROM. Now can I restore apps from TWRP backup using titanium backup? If so, how? Some googling showed that it was possible but I cannot find the option in Titanium backup. Please help.
