A quick noob question about backing up.

I was wondering if making a nandroid backup will also back up the virtual SD card. I have pictures, videos, etc. If nandroid does not back up the virtual SD card is there a different method I can use to back the card up?
Thanks

All of that (music, videos, pics etc) stay on the SD. You could flash 1000 roms and kernels with 25 backups and all your SD card stuff stays in tact.
Hope that helps ya

Do you recommend making a backup in nandroid or titanium backup? And where does nandroid put the backup? On the root of the SD?

There is no SD card...
The backup path is /sdcard/clockwork mod/backup or something similar.
And for which to use: Titanium backup only backs up applications, nandroid backs up almost everything.

I would do a nandroid and a TB backup and yes your nandroid goes to your SD.
Titanium backup will be helpful for your appsand a nandroid will be helpful if you bork anything (boot loop, bad flash etc).
Good luck and pm me if you need any other help.

Trouble with titanium backup

I have rooted with paranoid android 2.57 utacka, and when ever I take a backup of my apps in titanium backup..... Nothing will be shown in restore menu..... So my first rooting went tragic..... I need help... So that next time I change my rom, all my backup are restored.

can you attach screenshot of backup/Restore page of titanium backup?
and have you check size of titanium backup folder?

Sir I also had taken a backup from Cwm recovery mode however as soon as I went to paranoid the restoration process showed no files present there.

You don't have any backup on device
Have you wiped device?
I think you have lost all backup when you have factory reset
It is advisable to make backup storage on ext sd card

Go to preference and then go backup location. Then click on detect and search whole device. Once located just Click on it and it will show up on the restore menu.. If you backed up on your external memory or internal memory without formatting it during the installation then it should be there.

Backing up a non-rooted device

I have the Epic 4G Touch. I'd like to proceed with rooting it and ultimately CM10. I'd like to back up all the random stuff that I've accumulated over the last few years of owning this phone before I do that. Titanium Backup is only for rooted devices, as I understand it. What is the preferred method for backing up a device before rooting?

You can root it without losing any data.

Ypu can also just use odin to flash the el26 kernel. Then go into recovery and make a nandroid. After that flash whatever rom after wiping. Then on your new rom use titanium backup pro to restore from nandroid. Choose your apps and the data and restore. Do not restore anything system.

If you haven't moved forward with yet you can also use Helium for your backup -- it is available in the Play Store for free and is one of the only suites that will let you backup apps and data without root. I think that it will require access to a PC for the non-root backup. Good luck!

Twrp restore

So I always backup (nandroid) to my exsd, then when I try and restore my backup it always fail s? Do I need to backup to internal? Our does it work from external I'm just not doing it right? The only thing I can think of is that I rename it to the room I was using after backup. ..

I personally store nandroid backups on my external and move them to my internal when I know I will need them. I would say it depends on you're SD card, if it's a cheap one I wouldn't trust it with sensitive stuff like restoring a nandroid, also are you using the latest recovery?

Backup

Ok this is really bothering me I use TB for my backups for my apps. When I flash a new Rom and I go to reinstall my apps they are not there because you have to do a full wipe when flashing a Rom so how can I flash a Rom and be able to reinstall my apps and games with the data with them. Like games I lose all my saved points

Maybe I'm missing something but I back up my tb on my sd card so a full wipe only effects the internal storage.

When I back up with tb it saves to my internal not my external card I have always used tb never any problems is there a way to back up to my external? So what I did last night is back up my game real racing 3 moved it to my external card flashed a Rom installed tb and it did not pick it up on my card moved back to internal card and it picked it up. So I restored it and all it restored was the app no data so I lost my cars and everything. So I went back to stock cause I made a back up and I have all my stuff but if I want to flash a Rom I will lose my game data

You have to go to preferences and set backup folder to external card. After flashing, reinstall TiBu. Do preferences again, detect whole device, select backup location, say use current folder and you should see your backups.
