You got it in one. But you can backup everything with titanium backup free on the market

I would also recommend MyBackup Pro, i use the latest version (v2.3.4) and it works very well. It allows you to backup/restore not only Apps, but Data too (i.e. Contacts, Calendar, Alarms, Cal Log, Bookmarks, System Settings, SMS/MMS, Music Playlist, Dictionary, and Android Home [fixed in most recent version]) either to an online source or to the SD Card. You get a 30-day Trial with MyBackup (not Pro version).

Not only does Titanium backup need you to have root but it needs a working install of busybox as well.

I use Spritebackup, it backs up pretty much everything

adb backup if you're not rooted.

If rooted then titanium backup pro best app available for tasks like this. Has a batch feature to backup what you need and restore again also you can save your backup to dropbox.

It is somehow helpfull, but still:
It works for all user installed apps flawless.
BUT i cannot complete it for system apps! For none of them! It doesnt give me an error or so, it (the progress bar) just freezes when trying to backup sys apps....
My phone is of course rooted...

Titanium backup works fine with user or system app, you can uninstall titanium backup and delete the folder on sd card and redownload the app

Delete all the contents in /sdcard/
That's all you need to do

Try SD Maid from market to clean out useless stuffs. Android really needs to control application files on the sdcard. This is like windows

Will this deletion method delete even ROMs and backups stored on it.

Try deleting backups. Keep 1 or 2 and delete the rest.
Allons-y

Use some common sense when deleting, like the clockworkmod folder is backups, TitaniumBackup folder is titanium backup files, and etc. ROMs are not installed on the sdcard orbviously.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?

Biggest memory hog is backups. Like cwm or titanium

Apps restore after New ROM replacement

Hello Gurus,
Still new to my SGN2. Just wondering how you guys restore all your apps after flashing new ROMS.
I use Titanium to backup all my Apps before flashing new ROM. But I find it very troublesome as I have to click on install each apps individually. Is there other method of restore all the apps at just one click?

How do you back up in Titanium pro? eg. Backup apps with system data or just Backup user apps? Thanks.

Never mind, done further research on how to backup with TiBu Pro

Backup of Rom Manager backup

Hi guys
Maybe I'm a moron for not being able to find the answer to this but here goes:
I can see that with ROM Manager my backups are stored in a "safe" location out of reach no matter which file manager I'm using. And then with ROM Manager Premium it's possible to transfer these backup to your PC. But how do I get a backup transferred back to my phone if I need that? I haven't been able to find any information about how to do that.
So before I invest in RM Premium can anyone tell me if this is possible?

"Backups can be pulled using adb or by using ROM Manager Backup Download Sever." To use the sever method go to ROM Manager -> Manage and Restore Backups -> Download Backups It should start a server and show a link you put into your computer browser which will download the backups

Yes as I understand it that's Phone -> PC. But what about the other way?

I've just reinstalled it to have a look at the options. I've never used it for at least a year.
From what I understand now (I didn't want to flash cwm) when you store them on a PC they're on a .zip format. To restore you just copy it back to your internal storage/sdcard then use the backup/restore option.
Personally I wouldn't buy the premium. I did long ago but it's outdated and rarely updated.
Best option for backing up is Titanium Backup Pro. Constantly updated and responsive devs.
There are loads of free options. You can even use something like obackup to perform online nandroid backups or just even use recovery and perform a nandroid.
