I wanted to know that if I restore from a Nandroid backup, will the user profiles on my stock room with their respective apps also get restored? Also how Titanium backup be used to backup only specific apps for different user profiles.

Yes, the user profiles will get restored along with your apps as long as your nandroid was made after they were set up and the apps installed. The restore from your backup will be Exactly like it was at the point in time it was made. Have never had more than one profile on any of my devices so can't answer your TB question.

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
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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.

Have used titanium backup in the past but find that restorations can sometimes fail. Can anyone recommend an app solely for app backup and restoration which saves all saved game data as well ?

I prefer it over titanium as it has never let me down.

i use titanium backup pro you can restore after a wipe very easily all automatic of course you have to reconsider that you can't use files from froyo for gingerbread its natural i think
Probably obvious addition to thread - I use Titanium Backup Pro - remember to restore app AND data. I've never had any issues.
Titanium Pro of course! Never had any problems when restoring Userapps + data this way.
For me the main difference between free and pro is the option, that with free you have to enter every app and system data manually, whereas pro does this automatically. So if you do not flash roms very often, titanium backup free is sufficient.
When I tried "My backup root" it didn't re-install any paid apps.
When I used "Titanium PRO" I used the one bundled with the ROM I flashed, which wasn't current, and was different from the one I backed up with, and I had FCs. So make sure you always download the latest, even when it's bundled. Oh, and I had to reboot before the changes it made were applied.
There can be problems with reapplying system data from one ROM to another ROM, so in that case, just do the apps.
Alternatively, use appbrain to keep a list of apps
Tried both (Titanium and Mybackup). I prefer Titanium Pro since it had nevet let me down.
Once had a problem with Titanium not restoring some apps, but that was due to the lack of space on the phone.

I use MBP which I find really good except that it does not backup Wireless Keys and Account info. Does Titanium do this?
I'm currently using an older FrostyJB rom and would like to update to the latest version. The problem is that I've spent alot of time tweaking the settings, downloading apps, and tweaking app settings to my liking.
Is there a way I can save all the apps, app settings, and data? That way after I update to the latest rom version, I can just load it up and won't have to fiddle with downloading all the apps and setting them up again.
Nandroid backup!
From cwm (rom manager)or (goo manager) from the playstore! It does a whole backup of all you're stuff.
Also titanium backup's you're apps n stuff. Either or but if u want the whole thing I suggest a NANDROID BACKUP!!!
U BETTER AXXEEEEE SOMEONE ABOUT IT! dont forget it

Titanium backup look up a tutorial vids on YouTube. You can just select backup data and then restore it after wards. Make sure you only select data not system

All of what he said.
Also it might be safe to assume you can just flash over on top of the old version, just don't report bugs if you have some, if things start acting weird and you get force closes, then wipe and start over. Longest run on ever.

Yeah um gonna try that too thanks for sharing.
Yep. Titanium backup is what you need.
Me I use app2zip in order to backup my apps and what i like about it is that it makes a zip that you can flash right after you flash a rom.
It says that if your data is not erase it will restore it but it doesn't work all the time for me so I use a different app to backup apps and phone data to restore them.
More steps than TB but free

I don't think he's looking to restore a full backup such as a nandroid. He's wanting to flash a newer version of a rom and make sure all his settings are the same afterwards. I'm sure he wants to have all his messages and bookmarks and apps and widgets to all be there afterward.
Honestly, I don't think there is such an app as I would have found it by now. I hate flashing rom updates every other day and having to restore my messages (and finding out that the backup is from a week ago so I've lost a bunch), downloading my apps and having to reset the settings (usually forgetting an app or 2 every time), not having my bookmarks anymore, etc.
I know you can restore a lot of this stuff from TB, as I usually do, but I always had worries about restoring things from one build onto another for compatibility reasons and to avoid FC's and such. I don't really think there is a foolproof way of doing what he wants. It's a little safer to do this by hand but inevitably you will lose or forget some things along the way.
Using TB I encountered many problems after a frosty upgrade awhile back. Something about the file system? Has anyone encountered this, as I would also like to upgrade from an old nandroid frosty bk

Did you try to restore system data? If so, then that's the problem. Never do that for any reason (when updating the rom).
What I usually do is restore apps like evernote with data basically apps that have info on it. While others ones like Pandora without data in which I could start from Scratch without losing anything. If you want to keep actual settings really I think the only way to do it is if your upgrading the same rom to a different version and rom has to support it.

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
I know it is a very newbie question, but how can I keep all the apps and configuration when I switch between roms? Does restoring from nandroid backup will restore the phone and configuration to back how it was? Thanks

Titanium backup will do the trick but sometimes when restoring old data I've had some issues with lots of force closes and some other unexplainable strange things going on. It's best to start fresh on a new rom.
Titanium backup is your answer
If you back up apps and data from your personally installed apps, restoring should not cause any problems. If you try to backup and restore system apps and data across different roms (ie tw and aosp), you're likely to experience some problems.
When it comes to system data, it can be hit or miss. Generally the only thing that will likely break is contacts, as each provider (samsung, htc) puts their own spin on it, and it tends to not be compatible. but if you use google to store your contacts, you should be golden. After some time you'll know which parts are compatible across all roms (within the same version family).
So, backup everything you want to keep. And make a full nandroid.
Install your new rom.
Restore your personal apps and data (like angry birds)
Make sure everything is golden.
Make a nandroid
One by one, restore any system data you want (like accounts, wifi access points, mms).
After each one, go through a reboot cycle, make sure everything works.
Nandroid and restore next system data
This way you can easily back out of a restore that breaks something without having to start over again. And you will get a feel for what's restorable and what isnt.
Beware changing back to 4.1 from 4.2. There are threads on this worth reading.
And, yes, nandroid will restore everything just like you had it, assuming you choose to backup -everything- (which is advisable).
