You wanna backup boot, system and data. Other ones you can back up just in case but you really don't need to to my knowledge.

Follow the steps above, BUT after you Odin recovery do a nandroid backup BEFORE you root with the superuser zip. This way your backup won't have root access.
Now you don't have to root at all, but at least you'll have access to recovery and have a stock backup and SU zip file handy in case you do want to root.

thank you sir, i just didnt want to reinstall all the apps and stuffs that i already had on here before root. yeah its a small thing but still would like to save the settings i had and whatnot on them.
there's no way to perform a full back without root
all the good backup Apps requires root to work
namely Nandroid (in CWR) or Titanium Backup
Where does nandroid store the backup? I was going to restore a backup, after data wipe, wipe cache, and wipe system/dalvik. I always wipe these when installing any ROM on my Vibrant and now SGS II. No backup exists now.
It must be one of the areas I wiped. I need to know so I don't wipe my backups anymore?

Thats not exactly true... Nandroid backup can be done in cwm without root.

I have a question:
If I backup my current ROM, flash a completely stock one, then restore only data from the CWM backup. Will I get back my apps and everything I installed and did on the phone？
Thanks。

yes, but be sure that data is selected for backup. also if rom system apps are moved to preload you cant restore it
I'd like to flash cloudy g3 but I'm not sure how to restore data into it, I have a nandroid backup with twrp, I used the preset backup and compressed the file on a sd card. Please help.

by restore data you mean to restore data from stock rom? I don't think that would be possible every time you flash a new rom you have to do a fully wipe, or you'll get a bootloop.
I mean as in all my app data and photos etc

you cannot restore any data from /data partition (a.k.a. app data, etc) because it will cause a bootloop if you're coming from another rom. Internal storage and external sdcard data can be restored if you have a backup on your computer. In fact it wouldn't even be wiped by twrp in the first place.

Internal memory won't be formatted. So your data will stay intact. For backuping and restoring apps you can use titanium backup. It would restore the data completely.
What do you mean?
I don't get what you mean by internal memory won't go
I see lots of TWRP does not work threads, but to what degree? Can it make a Nandroid backup and restore? I know that it can flash a rom and do a few other things.
LMN! Thanks!

Backup and restore are main features of a custom recovery like TWRP.
Just check this thread: Unofficial TWRP recovery
Chinese TWRP can't decrypt data on OOS, but works for custom roms. Non-chinese TWRP is less reliable
I know that data decryption no longer works. But If I make a nandroid backup of everything but Data, can I restore it?
Custom roms can restore and decrypt data, but OOS can only backup all but data

Hello. I am currently on TWRP 3.5.2_9.0, and my phone gets stuck while restoring my system partition. The same problem has persisted over many ROMS and even iwhile using Orangefox Recovery. Any help will be great. Thanks.

Are you backing up both system and system image and trying to restore both? Try backing up system image alone and restore (not system).

Yes. I have been backing up system and other partitions in the same zip. I will try your method and report when I need to restore again. Thanks
And there is update for TWRP...ver3.6.0_9-0

EFS may also give issues while restoring. So backup everything else you want except system and EFS and try restoring.
