Hello,
Right now, I am saving my nandroid backup to dropbox. I am doing it the long way.
First, I do a nandroid backup to my phone. Then I connect my phone to my computer then drag and drop the nandroid backup file to the dropbox in the computer.
Then, If I want to restore a specific nandroid backup, I connect my phone again to the computer and then drag whatever nandroid backup file I want back to the phone. After I do this, i do the restore.
Is there a way to make this less of a hassle?
thank you in advance,

I made a backup when i first decided to flash a ROM on my phone, but i didn't know about apps like titanium backup at that time, where i can just backup an app or game and also backup the data along with it.
is there a way to get into any of the image files from the nandroid backup and retrieve data like game saves/data and stuff?
You could always backup your current ROM, restore the old ROM, install titanium, restore your current ROM and use titanium to get back the old stuff.

Do a search for a tool like unyaffs. You can use it to extract the data partition from your nandroid backup. Then you can grab the data from whatever apps you are trying to restore individually and copy the files back to your phone.
I just rooted my Galaxy Nexus and installed Rom manager and Titanium Backup. This isn't my first time rooting and i think i some what of a grip on the process.
I did a full backup in Rom manager and set up a system data backup on certain apps on a schedule through Titanium. I synced Titanium to Drop box and every time a backup is made, it is automatically sent to my Drop box account. This is how i back up my phone because of the lack of a SD card on the GN. The files do show up in my drop box account and I attempted to drag and drop the files back onto my phone, simulating a new phone and attempting to recover my important data, but Titanium does not recognize these files.
How do I take the back ups from my computer, through drop box, and put the files back on my phone so i can restore my data through Titanium?
Also, when i did a full backup through Rom manager, Im not sure of how i get that file onto my computer. It doesn't show up on my phone when i connect my phone to the computer.
I hope I'm making myself clear and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
This belongs in the general section. Development is for developers.

Titanium backup is not directly compatible with Nandroid backups (rom manager style).
Titanium backup has an alternate feature of being able to extract backup info from nandroids though.
open titanium backup > Menu button > Extract from nandroid backup > select backup > scan... > select apps/data ...
done.

Thanks for the reply... everyone else would rather scold me for posting this in the wrong spot than help a dude out...
I did notice that feature in ROM manager, but I'm still not sure how to put that backup onto my computer. If there was a way to save my nandroid backup to my computer via Drop box or just dragging and dropping while connected through USB, I wouldn't have to use Titanium, which would be great.

Rom manager saves all backups to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups
Raise yer mizzenmast and swab 'er poop deck!
Hi, I'm new to rooting and to this forum. I have a HTC Desire that I am using that I rooted yesterday. The process was quite simple and I installed the Evervolv 3.0.0p10 - Jelly bean for HTC Desire yesterday and everything seems to run smoothly (apart from the camera but that's because its still pre-alpha) but when a new version comes out I don't know how to flash the next update without losing all my apps and game saves. I understand that you need to go into boot into Recovery mode then go into Clockwork Recovery but how do I backup all my apps? What I don't want is to restore to an older ROM with the apps on but what I do hope will work is somehow I can get the apps back on the new version of the ROM. Can someone help a noob here on how to do so please
Thanks!
Use titanium backup or mybackup from playstore to backup apps+data then save the backup on ur computer.

also, before you flash any rom update, or any flashable zip, make sure you nandroid backup!
in clockworkmod: backup and restore -> backup
nandroid backup saves your phone's EXACT state: apps, contacts, texts, homescreens everything, so you have a safe point to restore to in case something goes wrong.
these are stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup, you can also move these on PC for safekeeping (plus they start to take up a lot of space).

Thanks I did install Titanium backup and I redid backups for everything (I think) because it says "1 backup" underneath all the apps. What I don't understand is how I can save it onto the computer and how to restore everything, such as the apps onto the new ROM I have flashed onto the phone?

Plug ur phone into computer, select connect as disk drive and u can browse through ur files on sdcard and just copy the backup to computer or if u have a card reader, use that and do the same. To restore the apps on new rom just put the backup back on ur sdcard and download titanium backup from playstore then u can restore them. Never used titanium backup but im sure its pretty straight forward. Maybe eddiehk6 will give better instructions.

Okay I understand, thanks a lot for the help!
I'm just trying to understand.
I know how to make a Nandroid backup using TWRP. And I know I can use this b/u to restore the system.
If, instead of the Nandroid, I copy every thing on the Nexus 7 to my pc, including the root drive, would recopying all those files back to the tablet restore the system in the same way, or not?
How is the Nandroid b/u different?
Thanks.
I recently moved my Nandroid backup to my PC to free up space on my phone. Now, once I place it in BACKUPS in TWRP it doesn't show up when I go to restore it. I'm not sure what it is I'm missing. Could someone help me with this?
You may be missing the folder in the backups folder. I think it's usually the serial number of your phone? Easiest way to create it again would be to back up your current boot.img or something small. Then move the backup from your PC to the folder that backup is in. You know what I mean?
Yep that's it. In the backups folder there is another folder that has the backups in it. It is the same as your serial number.
