I'm trying to backup the Profiles that are available under System Settings. But i can't find anything in Titanium Backup that does that.
I don't like to recreate the profiles everytime :silly:

Is there a way titanium backup can create different lists, like one list to restore app+data and another just app?
When I reflash new roms, I like to just restore app on some apps and not the data since different roms can't be compatible on some things...

Best way to do this is to rename the folder "Titanium backup" to a new name after doing each backup. You just need to revert the name when you restore.

I'm sure there's a way to do it; I, personally, don't know where the settings are stored though

Titanium Backup will do it just fine. I always back up my CM settings.

yes, you can backup apps+data with titanium backup, but how do you backup VPN, Wireless and other CM7-settings? afaik it is not possible to save those settings with titanium backup!?
if anybody could tell me where the settings are stored i could use adb shell or root explorer and simply copy them.

Your wireless network settings should automatically sync with your Google account, but there are options in TB to specifically back them up. I'm not sure about VPNs, but you could poke around for it. I only know that selecting "back up all user apps and system data" and restoring it is essentially a nandroid. Other than re-adding widgets and changing the wallpaper, I can't think of anything that it doesn't save.
ok, but this would be a complete backup. i could do this with rom manager. so my main question is: where are the CM7-settings stored?
I'm going to try flashing a new rom, but before I do so, I want to do a full backup. What's the best way of doing this?

Buy Titanium in the Market. It'll back up all apps and app data. When restoring, NEVER restore System data as it'll more than likely mess things up.

If you're referring to a nandroid backup then you have to do that from recovery.

That's a little vague.
**SOLVED**
I have done some searching and other threads didn't exactly answer my question.
I understand that a Nandroid backup will take you back to the way your phone was before flashing a ROM.
My question is does that include all the installed apps? So like I have my SMS Backup & Restore, Defender II, and Dolphin Browser (just to name a few of the many). So does the Nandroid backup all these apps as well, or just what is on the internal memory?

A nandroid backup is an exactly image of your kernel, system, data, and boot image as well. Your user applications are stored inside the data partition that means yes your applications are in your nandroid too.

YAY Thanks you! I finally got everything working with my current ROM and wanted to experiment with some of the Jelly Bean ROMs, but wanted to make sure all my work wasn't going to go to waste, lol.
Keep in mind though, Nandoid back ups don't always flash/restore like it was before. It's a good temporary fix if something messes up, but not (in my opinion) a permanent solution.
If restored using backups a few times and they always came out buggy, I only use them in case of emergency!

If it at least restores the ROM itself and everything with that I am fine, which is what I knew it would at least do. Having all my apps there is just a plus! xD
It won't backup your images and songs, and it doesn't come out buggy.

I try to keep this files on the external as a necessary precaution in case anything ever goes, even when running stock ROM, lol. Thanks though
Hey guys,
I'm about to flash my first rom and so far I made a System Data and User App backup using Tintanium.
Now I read somewhere that for Samsungs we need to backup IMEI info as well...Does Titanium do that?
Thanks!

You could backup/restore the efs folder with TWRP or CWM. There's a how to thread somewhere around here.
