Hi, I was just wondering how do you guys backup everything including settings, programs installed on the memory card, and etc before upgrading the rom?
Or do you guys keep deleting everything?

All photo/file restore programs seem to only restore deleted information from memory cards. I need to restore some data from my device (T-Mobile Dash). I upgraded the ROM without backing up the few files I had saved directly to the device. Are there any programs out there that will do this? And can they be found for free??
Thank you in advance for any help...
I'm on an OG Droid and am currently using CM7 RC4. I'm very happy with this rom, but I have been having issue after issue, no matter what rom I'm using.
I'd like to start fresh, clear my SD card, clear all app data, etc. and then reinstall my apps manually. I'm hoping that this will remove the possibility of something being corrupted or lingering on the card and affecting the current rom. So, I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they have been stable running GB on a Droid with CM7? I'm running LauncherPro, Lookout, Tasker and AlarmDroid, and they all seem to be fighting for memory and not able to work properly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
So far, I have:
Made Titanium backups
Made rom backups
Made a copy of my SD card
Erased SD card using the option under Settings...Storage
Copied the CM rom back to the SD card
Copied the clockworkmod directory back to the SD card
Also, I have a bunch of apps installed, and don't want them all reinstalled after I flash. Do I need to manually uninstall all of the apps I don't want upon boot, or is there an easier way to keep them from syncing?
I'm getting ready to flash the rom. I know I need to wipe data and wipe cache. What else?
Hey people.
I installed a new rom on my LG p500 which involved formatting the memory card. I then proceeded to re-install titanium backup and put my "TitaniumBackup" folder on the root of the sd card.
I then used the app to restore the missing apps + data, however going into contacs, sms etc there is nothing. Also no other apps are on my device that I had before.
Any clues as to whats happened?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm a neebie but i think i have the answer to your question.
With a nandbackup you backup your ROM, not your apps. It's used in order to restore your old ROM if you have a problem whan you change or upgrade it.
If you just want to backup your apps, sms, contacts use an app as Titanium Backup or Mybackup. I use Mybackup since two years and i never had any problem.
Hope it will help you
Nandroid backup is the same as a system image on your PC. It's a snapshot of the entire system, OS+Apps.
Aright thank u buth. Ill try mybackup as im not worried biut my rom. Just worried bout my apps and such.
when your making a nand backup, you can also backup your apps by making a nand+android_secure backup. or you can use titanium backup to back up your apps
Hi guys
I don't know if this issue has been already solved or not but I checked some threads and did not find an answer.
I had a stock ROM (4.2) and wanted to go for a kitkat version. I backed up with titanium backup. data was backed in external SD.
When I installed the new ROM, TB did not find any backup as it searched only in the internal memory not the SD. I said whatever, I had a fresh start in the games and used the other apps as if they were never used before.
Now I found an improved ROM and installed it. the backup obviously was made in the internal memory but the problem is that the new ROM looks for SD card.
I am kind of confused. I restored my old data, which are now obsolete for me as I moved on since the first ROM upgrade.
Now I want to recover my recent data which is in the internal memory and not the SD.
I tried changing the backup folder from preferences but it did not solve the issue.
Hope you can help, it would be much appreciated.
