I use Titanium backup to keep my M8 backed up safely. I also do a 'update zip' every now and again and keep it on my laptop.
The problem I get is it will randomly come up with 'Titanium backup is restoring your data' it then asks me to reboot and when I have it has restored old data and deleted some apps and all my login details to Facebook etc! How do I stop it from over writing my perfectly setup phone with old data?
Thanks

It's just done it again after a reboot!! The only way I can seem to stop it is uninstall titanium back and I don't want to do that.

all restoring data does is cause troubles ... it takes all of 10 - 15 min to setup the phone from scratch ( i use google and htc backup)

I'm rooted running AOKP build 28. Just download temple run as I'm sure all of you have. I just wanted to know how to back up my game data when flashing new roms. I Also have titanium backup. Didn't know if I could use that app....

Thank you for the quick response, can i pick individual apps for it to back up or when you do a batch backup does it just do everything?

On the Backup/Restore tab in Titanium, you can backup the apps individually. Doing it by batch would be easier, plus nothing beats having a backup of all installed apps plus system apps.
What backup will restore game save data?
I just flashed a ROM and was disappointed to see my high scores no longer present.
I've restored a nandbackup and will try and rebackup my games to see if the data will be saved this time...
EDIT: Absolutely ridiculous, lost my high scores.

you can also use adb backup
Afaik contrary to the above post TiBu does NOT back up game data! Yes TIBu backs up application data, but I dont believe game data is included. Try the app SyncIt beta by Jug6ernaut.
It depends on the game.

PRO Does, at least it will back it up if you allow it to, the default is to back it up if it has up to 30MB of data, but you could set the threshold as high as you want... Altough I've never tried doing that.
Hi,
I have absolutely no idea why and how it happened, but my gnex made a factory reset, and all my apps (doesn't matter) and data (huge loss) is gone.
Is there any chance to recover the data?
Nope.
Your appswill be backed up up with your gmail account as far as the data unless you made a backup with something like titanium backup you are out of luck sorry to here about this. You should get titanium backup and make periodic back upsthis will save data and apps

Good idea from here on to make a nandroid back up and keep a copy of it on your pc.

A Google search has found this
you'll probably run into issues when switching roms, if you're going to restore system data everytime.
So far I have settled for a Nandroid backup and mybackup from the market.
Titanium serves the purpose as well. Although I'm not much of a fan yet.

Titanium backup, only use it to backup and restore user apps though, use gapps an google playstore to restore system apps.

I've had this problem on every ROM I've tried but one. Everything is working fine until I restore apps with titanium backup then MMS won't send. They just hang. I don't know what app is doing it or if it's just the act of restoring the data. Really giving me fits. The only ROM that MMS worked after the restore was CleanRom 2.0. I thought it may have had something to do with touchwiz since I did not have it on that install, but further testing has shown that is not the case. I'm stumped. Any Ideas?
I've restored 3 times and is worked every time for me so I can say it does work. Not store what to tell you add to why yours is having issues. Maybe check the apn and make sure incorrect settings aren't getting restored or changed.

Are u guys restoring system apps ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Don't restore system apps, system data or system processes with Tibu. User apps and data only. Restoring system apps will cause some of them not to work, and can destabilize your ROM. Fixing permissions doesn't solve it.
Do a full, clean wipe reinstall and restore only user apps. You'll have to re-do your system settings manually, yeah, but that takes ten minutes or so if you note what you've done down before wiping.
Ya....What he said

Restored system data only and apps and data but I only restored system data that I needed like email accounts and stuffand everything works perfectly.

Nnn
I'm an idiot
Just found the problem. It seems AdblockPlus was blocking mms (wtf?) but once I turned it off they went just fine.
I never restore system data/apps... just user apps and I only restore data to games I have put a lot of time in or others that would take too long to restore the hard way.
Need to do it this way

I want to start fresh after the kk update. I have a profile for me and my son. I looked into helium but it has iffy results judging by feedback I read. Are there any other options? I would like to avoid root for now but since I bought square trade warranty I suppose it's not a huge deal.
I back all my stuff using KIES. Backs up my apps, snotes, system settings, etc.

helium is working fine for me but you have to connect your device to a PC and runa script to be able to save or restore anything.
price for non rooted devices and probably the reason for low feadback.
I also use it to transfer apps from my phone to tablet.
Any one tried mybackup from the playstore?
Been thinking of testing it out, but never find the time....

I've had varying success with Helium. When I do a system reset and try to restore from Helium about 80% of the apps will restore with data and the rest just fails. There's no explanation of reasoning behind which ones fail. And, when restoring all of the apps the process stops when a restore fails. I have to then start restoring after the failed app.
If you are relying on getting that data back don't count on Helium.
So apart from all the great guy stuff do search on Google for full backup android using adb. No rooting needed.
I would give you the link but I am on my phone today...

I am using it for a long time, very fast with backup & restore sms`s & call logs, but toooooo slow restoring apps.
What about Ultimate backup ?
Any way to backup screen layout? Without root that is...
