Quicker way to backup

I'm currently using mybackup pro to do backups and restores between rom installs. It retains market links, application databases, and other system settings. My only problem is that it is SO SLOW to backup and restore. It takes probably over and hour to backup my applications and another hour to restore them. I don't even have that many. Is there any quicker way of doing this? I'd like to be able to install a new rom sometime before the singularity.

Go to the Market and use Titanium backup. It backs up your apps over to your SD card along with app data. You can batch the backups and restores as well as schedule your backups. You can also use AppBrain. It updates which apps you download from the Market and then does a back up. But I think App brain only works with market apps. I'm not 100% on Appbrain.

The back up takes me a few minutes. 10 if I have a ton of apps. The restore is pretty annoying since you have to click install for EVERY APP YOU HAVE.

I realized this after running a backup and installing a new rom. Looks like you have to buy the pro version. I did and it restores automatically.

I'm trying to backup the Profiles that are available under System Settings. But i can't find anything in Titanium Backup that does that.
I don't like to recreate the profiles everytime :silly:

noob question about backup/restore

With TWRP, can I back up the apps, make a full wipe, and restore all of them without having problems with clean instalation? Or is better titanium backup? Or is better download all apps again of Internet?
TWRP will back up the APKs, but can't back up some of the app data saved to the /data/media folder. If you restore a nandroid after wiping the /data partition, you'll find that some of your apps will have been effectively reset. It's better to use TiBU to save it.

Don't go on that route. You may get banned from XDA.
TiBu really is worth its price, especially if you use it a lot. And somehow I have a feeling that most people on XDA forums do need an app like this quite often.

How do you guys backup?

Just wondering, for those guys that run a custom ROM, how are you backing up before the flash?
I used to use Migrate, but since we don't (yet) have TWRP I can't use that on OP7T.
What do you guys do?
I personally use Titanium Backup. The UI is not the prettiest, but it works well to make backups of apps and other useful data.

Titanium Backup. Never has let me down in the years i used.
I backup and restore with chinese recovery. All works well
I switched from titanium to swift Backup last year. I got some issues with newer apps and that was the reason I switched.
