What's the best way to Backup? - Captivate General

Hi, how do I backup without Titanium Backup? I don't want to root my phone.
I'm flashing back to 2.1

Try mybackup

But I also need something that will back up my music.

Just copy it to your computer.

How do I do that?

Mount the SD card to the computer and copy it over using explorer.

Just like a Flash drive or whatever.

Alternatively, download ROM manager and use it to do a NANDroid backup of all of your data. Titanium is nice but NANDroid back ups will save every single setting where as titanium cannot save widgets etc. If you chose to go the NANDroid backup method to get the backups on your comp, plug it in and mount it as USB storage, open the drive and copy the files in the clockwork recovery backup folder to your comp. I also suggest you name them something that will let you know what the backup is in (I use a simple method: ROMThemeKernelapps, eg: CM7Trin15apps for CyanogenMod 7 with the Trinity 1.5GHz kernel and of course all of my apps).

[Q] Need a little help

I've searched high and low and couldn't find an answer to help.
I rooted my Captivate successfully... installed Titanium Backup and ran a backup... removed the stock apps. Now I need to return my phone and I can't get the apps to reinstall. It's like Titanium Backup permanently deleted them instead of renaming or moving them.
So... is there anywhere to download the .apks for the stock apps?
Look for a folder named TitaniumBackup on the internal or external SD card (if you had one). That's where your backups are stored. If it was on the external card and you removed it, TIBU won't be able to find it. If you deleted it, your SOL.
You can flash stock with odin
Yay, thanks mcord! Odin did the trick!

Lost all of my backup roms!!

Okay so I just installed CM7 which worked fined and i was reading that i should partition my sd card. So I made a copy of my sd card on my computer and continued to partition my sd card 256/64. After the partition I just moved the file back to my sd card in recovery mode. I then rebooted which worked fine and syncd my google account. I installed simple2ext so i could move my cache to my sd card because i was unable to update rom manager and su or able to install any apps bigger than simple2ext. I installed titanium backup and noticed i had nothing to restore so I was going to go back to my original rom to back everything up again. I backed up cm7 then went to restore my original rom and all my previous roms I had backed up were gone.
Is there something I did worng? and am i able to get them back.
I did some searching and looked in my sd card from my computer and looked in clockwork folder and found my backup folder. I tired to move all of them back but said insufficient space and was only able to move one.
So now my question is did all my data from sd card not transfer over?
o noo that sucks man
if you made a rom backup, it would indeed be in the clockwork folder, as the progam that makes the backup is nandroid which is intergrated in the clockwork mod. Titanium backup is only for backing up loose apps and had nothing to do with rom backups.
If you still have the clockwork folder with the backups in them on your computer you should be fine. just transfer the one you want to use (they are named with dates and times) to the SD and go back into the recovery mode and use the restore option.
if you don't have enough space on your SD card, maybe you should make some available for the rom.

Yup found them on the sd card on computer. But how come they did not transfer after I recopied the SD card?
Had the same thing happen to me when I was on my GNEX. I now enabled dropbox to keep backup copies as well.
Something similar happened to me when I tried a ROM with 4ex recovery in lieu of clockwork. when i tried to access my backup it told me something about invalid md5 sum and backup failed. like it didn't exist. If all is still on your PC perhaps you should reformat the card then re-partition using a different source, and re-try.

[Q] titanium backup help

conoirecti
I do not know
Try installing stock rom again.
u may need to flash your original rom or ask someone who was backup the shock camera.
Beside, u can try other 3rd camera apps
Use root explorer
Go to system directory
Mount partition as r/w
Paste the apk in system/apps
Reboot
I think this will help you. if it does please THANK me.

Well also don't forget to set full permissions.
Once when I copied the apk file it didn't work later when I set full permissions it worked.
I would use titanium backup to backup the apps you have, then do a factory reset if the AOL fix above doesn't worm.
mount your SD card from your PC transfer a copy of your Titanium Backup folder from SD card to PC the MAin folder and the contents will all be saved. Then reinsert SD in phone uninstall TitBa clearing the data first then uninstall. Then boot into ClockWorkMod then wipe all 3 cache's then do "Fix Permissions" then Reboot phone. Re-Install Titanium back up and transfer your app backups from your PC back into your newly created TB folder that your phone will make on the SD card when you install TB. Then go into Restore/Backup in TB and restore the App.
You need to allow to install apps from unknown sources!

Best way to xfer a Nandroid backup from a broken S6?

So my S6 stopped charging via cable last night, will only charge wirlessley. I'm assuming the charging port is broken. Given that the S6 obviously has no SDCARD, i'm assuming the best way to backup, and restore to a new S6 is to use NANDROID to create a backup, compress, xfer to my PC, get the new phone, root, install ROM, xfer NANDROID backup from PC, decompress, then restore it?
A couple of questions since I've actually never had to restore to a new phone:
How do I decompress the backup on the new phone?
Also, when I create backups, should I be doing it from the NANDROID app, or in recovery using TWRP?
Anything else I need to know?
Thanks,
Backup via TWRP and Airdroid it over to your PC
Backup via TWRP and Airdroid it over to your PC. Copy to your new phone when you get it, restore, job done

Airdroid only allows up to 1GB with premium. My compressed backup is 4GB.
Suggestions?
Just enable "ADB over WiFi" in Developer Settings then use adb to pull the files
Aaaaand the right answer was ES File Explorer LAN function.
thanks.
does root explorer support lan features ?

It does not. I learned this today. Looks like I'm switching.
