Best backup

Please everyone, what is the best backup so far for HTC Desire? Backup pro or Nand backup or Titanium backup?

I use Titanium Backup and it works really well. I haven't tried the others as I've had no reason to seek out an alternative.

Stupid question maybe, i know that Titanium backup all the app and app data..this means backup also the sms messages?

Anyone?? Will Titanium backup do a backup of SMS messages/Call Logs??

I use my backup pro. It savers all sms mms etc... Don't know if it stores app data tho

titanium backs up everything, wallpaper, app settings, game high scores, wifi connection settings, custom keyboard dictionary, system settings,....
Literally THE LOT apart from the actual ROM itself.
If you wanna take a 'snapshot' of the phone for backup purposes, just use NANDroid from clockworkmod. Only problem is you can't refresh those kind of backups, you've got to manually do new backups and delete old redundant ones.

I use an app called SMS Backup & Restore. It works really well and it had scheduled backups, etc. It's also free. What you can do is have Titanium Backup make a backup of SMS Backup & Restore and then use that to restore SMS.
NOTE that SMS Backup & Restore stores your backed up messages onto the SD card so when you do a factory reset before installing new ROMs, it DOESN'T wipe your messages.

Titanium is good for apps but.unless you're doing a full restore, its messy for messages. Personally I use sms backup+ which sends all my.messages to a gmail label

Titanium Backup + SMS Backup & Restore.
SwiftKeyed from dGB using Transparent XDA App

MyBackup Pro restores all apps and messages, contacts etc etc and is very simple to use. I actually bought it but curiouly if you get MyBackup Root this appears to work without time restriction (Pro version has a 30 day trial).

Titanium Backup for apps...
Sms Backup + for sms/mms...
Normal Google sync for contacts...
And your sdcard for your photos

Only thing that will do a FULL and COMPLETE backup of everything is a nandroid backup through recovery.

[Q] help with getting data after flashing a rom

Im a beginner to flashing roms. Started to root my galaxy s3 and was a success the first time around. After I backup my apps and datas, contacts etcs with titaniumbackup free version. Then I flashed the CM10 everything went smooth. Successfully restoring my apps but I cannot restore my data such as, contacts, texts msg, email accounts other than gmail. Anyone know the reason why this is happening or maybe use a different backup app? Any tips, suggestions would be helpful.
As of right now back to Tmobile stock-rooted jb 4.1

I recommend MyBackup Pro to do app and data backups - allows me to restore my data with the app.

glad this wasnt an IMEI issue lol, hope you find a solution

Restore the data from "contacts storage". Go to backup/restore find it in the list and tap it. Hit restore, data only.
For texts I use SMS backup & restore. TB didn't seem to work well.

Titanium Backup doesn't backup your SMS automatically. Go into Titanium Backup, press menu, and then hit backup data to XML. This will allow you to backup your call log, SMS/MMS, Bookmarks, and even your Wifi Access points.

1) Is it fast?
2) does it restores just apps or apps + data ?

1) In my opinion yes, I change it from Titanium Backup
2) MyBackup Root support Apps + data
And about Super Backup - SMS and Logs are stored in XML file - that you can menage it from PC. Contats are in VCF format and can be simple use in other devices.

I dont backup sms etc so dont need that app.
I earlier used titanium backup but its too slow and at times unresponsive.
Then i tried app backup and restore. Its fast but it doesnot back up ( apps + data )
Now gonna try my backup root.
Btw did u exactly understood what i meant by app + data ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app

I think yes - Apps and data don't backup in one file. You can restore only App, only data or App+data

Go backup is the best one. And its free!!
Apps+data, calls, wifi, msgs, call logs, all in one.
If u get the paid version u can have wallpaper, settings and online backup too.

E.g if i restore xda app, it wont ask to login again and go directly to favourites.. i want that kind of app.
Titanium backup can do that but as i already mentioned its a bitslow.
"App backup and restore" only backs up app. I.e like downloading an app...
Does Go backup restores app+data or only app ?

Ok thanks !! Gonna try it for sure then

[Q] restore messages from backup.

Hey guys just had a question. I just flashed over a new rom and completely forgot to backup my texts and i had some unsaved numbers in my previous rom..my question is there anyway to go into the backup and pull out some file that has all my messages so i can restore them on my current rom?

The only way I would know how, would be to download a third-party SMS app. From there, can you do use titanium to restore it or use it's own backup and restore features through that app. After that, use that on your new ROM and those messages should come back to the stock SMS application... Maybe. I mean "maybe" to the messages going back to the stock SMS app.

Within the menu in the paid version of TitaniumBackup, not sure about free version, is a "restore from nandroid backup" feature that allows you to restore specific app data from a backup location. The app will check your backup to see what is available to restore and give you the option to select which app or data or both you wish to restore. I've used it before and it worked. Good luck

I always backup my contacts and texts in Kies, you can always just restore them back to your device even if its rooted. Just did that to mine last night. Hope this helped.

I use sms backup. It works great. You can backup to internal sd or sd card. Very simple app, but it does the job. I've never restored sms messages with Titanium Backup, just my user apps.
