so i want to change again my rom again but now i have a lot of things on my phone that important to me
so i would like to use titanium backup but im not quit sure how to use properly
so can somebody explain to me how do i backup everything
and when i mean everything i mean like saves from games and sms and music and pictures and more
so please i need your help
thanks
Using Titanium Backup:
1. Menu -> Batch -> Select RUN Backup all user apps + System data
2. The backup will be in the folder on ur SD card. Copy and save it in case u earse the entire SD card
Using Recovery:
To backup enitre ROM which ever you are currently using. Reboot into recovery..
Currently I use Clockword Mod, so I know how to do it only by this one
1. Reboot into recovery mode.
2.Under Backup & Restore do the nandroid Backup which backsup the currently using ROM with data.
3. This will also be under the folder ClockwordMod in ur SD card backit up in case u do SD card formatting
For SMS, Call Logs & Pictures I use McAfee Wavesecure which I bought long back and backsup all the data.. not sure about Titanium backup for SMS & stuff...
I think this might help you.
Excuse a newbie question, but doesn't the nandroid recovery just take a snapshot of the current setup with ROM and all?
How do you use it with a new ROM?

You use the nandroid if the new rom doesnt work or you of some other reason want to go back to the old rom.

Don't backup System Data if you are changing from one ROM to another, you will invariably get problems backing up system files that won't work smoothly with the new ROM. Just backup user apps.

No, that's fine. You can back both up and just restore apps and app data with no problem. I've never backed up system data I really don't see the point, I guess you could backup and restore to the same ROM, but i'd rather just start afresh each time.

Being able to backup system data selectively isn't a bad idea, i.e. Wi-Fi access points and literally one or two other things, if someone is after a system backup this is where nandroid comes into play, in my opinion.
I do agree backup for user apps. Also I would prefer Nandroid to restore the old ROM fully. Since I have been using some CM7 RC builds & also nightly builds.. i started to restore system data as well, which literally helps me to have all settings as well.
Also he can run Restore apps with data alone...
But it is upto OP which method he prefers..

Open the app and select Backup/Restore and long press on the system data you want to backup. You should exercise caution and not backup system data that will potentially disrupt another ROM. Wi-Fi Access Points, User Dictionary etc can all be found in there. Hope this helps.

Or the way I did it was just go under the backup/restore tab and scroll till you find what you want to backup ie. Bookmarks, wifi, etc then you are just backing up what you want and need

I have a question regarding Titanium that I hope you can help with...
I've just upgraded to the Gingerbread RUU, so I lost root and can't get it back, or frankly want to have it back, but I've backed up a number of apps with Titanium Backup, and is there any way to reinstall them?
They're all saved to my SD card, and Titanium Backup obviously refuses to work.
I can't and don't want to get root back, so is there any way to manually use these backups, or use them with another program?

You can recover the apps by searching the TitanuimBackup folder and extracting the APKs from the Zip files. It's obviously not possible to recover the data as it's zipped up in a tarball and it requires Superuser rights to access if using Titanium, however I don't know that it's not possible to manually replace the data. If you unzip the tarball and extract the folder to your desktop. If it's the BBC News app for example the folder should look like this after you extract it.
'Data/Data/bbc.mobile.news.uk/cache
-----------------------------------/databases
-----------------------------------/files
-----------------------------------/shared_prefs'
I don't know if you can access Data/Data from the phones internal memory without root, I am using Root Explorer. Try with Astro, I am guessing you can read/write to Data/Data without having S-Off as I am not getting prompted to switch to R/W to delete files (I have Root and S-Off).
If you can read and write to Data/Data without root and S-Off you can manually copy and paste the data over after installing the app, it will take ages to do if you've got any number of apps and I am not ever sure it will work, but I suppose it's worth a go.
I hope this makes sense, it makes semi sense to me as I read it back!
Hey guys, I have a small issue restoring apps from Titanium backups, everything restored fine except few apps won't restore( saying, "restore elements failed")? Any suggestions?

I have had this frustrating and once perplexing issue several times. I now know what the issue is and how to fix it.
("Market Link" is the term TB uses for The Play Store)
The Issue is that the "Market Link" that Titanium Backup uses to "restore" the app (non system downloaded from The Market) is "broken" The "Market Link" TB saved doesn't match your phone's Android I.D.#..
Allot of times after flashing (or OTA) a Rom your Android I.D.# will change. TB will even ask you if you want to use the new one or keep the old one..
TB does not make a "nanadroid type" of backup for an App to be backed up. What it does is copy the Apps "Market Link" so that when you "restore" the App TB DOWNLOADS the App and INSTALLS the App with a "FRESH" download of it..
THE FIX;
1) Uninstall TB and its Pro Key if you have one. Settings> Application Manager> Clear Data in both the TB app and Key> Uninstall.
2) Delete the Titanium Backup folder that is on your phone's Internal (root) sdcard. (You don't want to simply just download and install TB again because it will use this same "corrupt" backup folder)
I rebooted after this.
3) Clear Data and Cache in the Play Store Application and Google Play Services. Settings> Application Manager> All> Google Play Store and Google Play Services.
Now back completely out of the settings menu and open the Play Store Application. Accept Terms. Download Titanium Backup and Pro Key if you have one. Open Titanium Backup and make a backup of all your User and System apps.
You now have a complete backup with the correct Market Links associated with your current Android I.D. Titanium Backup will now work as intended! ..

Thanks for this post and sorry for the dead thread revival but I have a question.
I'm experiencing this exact scenario, except... now I have cleared all the data and caches etc, I want to restore the backed up app data that I took before switching OS! If I clear Play Store & Play Services data and cache, reinstall TiBu and take a complete backup... Then I'll just have a couple of apps, and no data! Do you mean to copy the previous backup files onto the phone afterwards and then try to restore again?
I am having the exact same problem right now . I need to restore the old backup . can you please help
I have very strange issue here. I am using Whatsapp since 2013. I am using it on same number although that number is not with me anymore and I cannot have it also. So I am using it just the way it is. I changed my phone from Sony Xperia C to LG Optimus L90 to OnePlus 2 to Redmi Note 5 Pro to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 to Redmi Note 7 Pro. Every time whatsapp restore worked well. I do format and clean install new version of custom ROM. Everytime, I backed up whatsapp and restored it after install and it worked.
Only this time when I decided to move from Redmi Note 7 pro to Redmi Note 8 pro, it failed unexpectedly.
Not only app, it failed to restore even data.
Now this Redmi Note 8 pro has Android 11 and all my previous phones were having till Android 10. Is this the issue?
Where should I check the logs? and How to correct this?

I flashed ResurrectionRemix based on Android 10 on Redmi Note 8 Pro and Whatsapp restore worked well.
Now since Redmi Note 8 pro crashed and I moved back to Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 and was working fine. I am using ResurrectionRemix based on Android 10 on Asus.
Yesterday when I tried to flash Spark ROM based on Android 11 on Asus, Whatsapp restored again failed. Same issue which I faced while switching to Redmi Note 8 pro.
I think Android 10 backup cant be restored to Android 11.
I havent tried to restore other backup (taken on Android 10) to Android 11 so cant confirm that.
I have raised this on Titanium Backup official Site and logged a complaint but no acknowledgement even after 3 months.

About backup
What is a backup?
In information technology, a backup or the process of backing up is making copies of data which may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. In Android, this affects applications, settings and documents.
Which types of backups do we have for Android?
Basically, we can distinguish three types:
Nandroid
A Nandroid backup (as it's done by e.g. ClockworkMod) basically creates full images of all your device's partitions, without any abstraction. This does not necessarily mean one could not pick single items out of a Nandroid backup, but its not that trivial. If you restore a single partition only (such as /data), it must fit the other parts of the system. The /data partition also holds the /data/dalvik-cache, for example, which consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it. If you would restore only the /data partition from a backup of ROM-X to a device with ROM-Y, those DEX (Dalvik EXecutables) would not fit. Also ROM-Y might use different directory structures for several things, which are not reflected here. As a result, you might have a unstable system (which might not even be able to complete its boot process), see apps crashing, and the like.
Doing this would not be such a good idea. So for the average user, a Nandroid restore is rather an all-or-nothing: Either restore it completely, or not at all. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, of course.
ADB Backups
Backups created with the adb backup command are a different case: they are "abstracted". If you look into such an archive, you will not find the directory structure reflected. Thus, at least in theory, an app backup (including the apps' data) created on ROM-X should restore fine on ROM-Y, as the ADB daemon on the device should take care of what belongs where.
App-based backups
There are several apps available for Android that create backups of apps, their data, or both. Some only cover system data available via so-called "data providers" (contacts, call logs, bookmarks, SMS/MMS, and the like). Others can capture/extract the .apk app installation archives. A few can backup apps, their data, and even system data—which before Android 4.0 required root permissions. Two of the powerful apps shall be mentioned here:
Titanium Backup is one of the best-known, most-powerful, and most recommended Backup solutions. It is able to backup apps, their data, data available via data-providers, system data, and more. And it can read (and restore) things from Nandroid and ADB backups as well. But it requires your device to be rooted.
Helium - App Sync and Backup (previously called Carbon) creates backups compatible with ADB backups (in fact, it is a front-end to the adb backup and adb restore commands). It can backup apps and their data, plus some other system data and stuff available via some data-providers. More to come, we hope. Helium Backup does not require root.

Okay I'm really in need of a response from who knows the mechanic of backing up
I've two questions
1. I've noticed that u can actually flash apps with a zip file. So if I put my personal apps into the rom folder after extracting them and recompress, is it possible that my apps will also get flashed along w the rom?
2. I've also noticed when u do a factory reset in the recovery, it only deletes cache and data. If I copy the data folder to my sdcard and paste to the orig directory after factory reset, is it possible that the data will get restored?
I'm not just curious. I think if this is possible, it'll be much dependable
Thnx

1. Yes, put the app's APK under /data/app in your zip package (although I do think that you need to modify the updater-script a bit to make it actually flash the apps).
2. Depending on how you do it - you MUST keep ALL the files' and folders' permissions untouched (which is nearly impossible since there are just WAY too many of them), or when you simply copy back, the permissions will be messed up and you'll face continuous FCs. Better use apps like Titanium Backup or, if you're brave enough, try restoring only the /data partition from an existing nandroid backup.

1. How do I modify the updater script?

Titanium Backup is the best way. The way you are doing it sounds like a lot of unnecessary work.
look for an app called zipme from author jrummy on the play store
I wrote some code a long while back that allows you to pack/encrypt and unpack/unencrypt your own android backups so that you can do your own partial backups and restores.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730309
However, for the past 18 months, I have just used BackupPC to back up my android devices. BackupPC is a linux-based backup that allowd for automated backups with all types of options for incrementals & fulls. The backup files are pooled so that you can backup every day while requiring minimal extra space since only new files add to the poo size. It can use several different transport systems for the backup ranging from rsync to rsyncd to tar to ftp etc.
I use rsync (over ssh) since it is fast -- only the deltas need to be transported across the network when files change.
Basically, all you need to do is install ssh + rsync, modify the server side config file and then you get automatic backups at your own pre-determined frequency over wifi whenever your device is connected to the wifi network.
Now BackupPC is probably overkill for just backing up a droid -- since it is typically used to backup whole networks of linux, Mac, Windows, etc. pc's. But since I already use it to backup all my home computers, it was a cinch to modify the config file to also backup my droid devices.
I verified that it worked when my Gnexus broke and I was able to flash the replacement device which restored not just my apps and data but also all my settings.

Google backup? I've been wondering this myself, but haven't found anything but Google's backup/restore. :|
For apps and their data, i suggest SwiftBackup. You connect it with your google account for cloud backup (paid) or create a local folder that you can tranfer to usb drive (free) and use it to restore back to your phone or any other device.
It also backs up call logs and messages and wifi networks.

I had issues with Migrate on an older phone as well (OP 7Pro) , but so far on this phone it has been solid.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do incremental backups of only modified data? I've used Swift Backup but it doesn't seem to be an option. Swift has an option to back up only "updated apps" but I could care less whether the apk was updated... I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

Did not see any option for that in the app. You can do it manually by renaming theold backup folder and redoing existing backup option. I think that would work.

Yes, back up everything again but since you rename the old backup folder you end up with 2 incremental backup. At least that how i see it but it would be a pain to do that if you want nighly backups.
The only other idea may be to set a scheduled backup (paid). Just took a look, it say you can have customisable backups in premium (which i don't have) maybe someone can tell us what that contains?

You're talking about multiple backups, I'm talking about incremental/differential backups, where only modified data is backed up. The purpose is for smaller size and faster backups so they can be run daily or even multiple times a day. I save my backups to google drive and "all apps" is about 20 GB for me. It's insane to upload that much every single night when most of it hasn't changed, but I want my backups always up to date for the next time my phone is bricked unexpectedly. I do have premium, but the option to back up only modified data isn't there. I'm looking for an app that can do that, like Titanium Backup did flawlessly.
