[Q] UnKnown Media in Titanium Backup

I have a AT&T Captivate with FROYO 2.2. I just rooted it and installed Titanium Backup. When I run Titanium, it performs the backup; however, I get this message.
"Warning - System Configuration"
"Your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. To correct this, go to your phone's Settings, then in "Applications" and tick the "Unknown Sources" checkbox."
Problem is, there is no "Unknown Sources" checkbox. What do I need to do?
thanks

[Solution] Backup from Titanium backup

Many people may know this solution, but I want add this for new bies, because i faced this problem many times:
before doing backup from titanium backup, make sure, your Development from unknown sources is checked.
You can do this in settings > applications > unknown sources.
Titanium backup will give option to check this check box, after clicking the restore button, but even if you check the check box, it wont work.
You have to check this check box first, then open Titanium backup.
I faced this problem many times, and all these days, i did manual install of apps, whenever i change ROM, now i have the solution.
Hope this is helpful for few people.

Titanium Backup won't restore apps, just data.

I've done this many times but after the latest reformat when I select an app to restore, Titanium Backup 7.5.0 (Pro/Donate version) only gives a "data only" option. It seems to have lost the apps themselves.
And if I reinstall the app from the store and then restore the data from TB, the app will usually crash.
Additionally, some of the apps aren't even found until I install them from the play store. After that, I have the "data only" option for them again.
LG G3 D852 on Marshmallow.
set SELinux to permissive before trying to restore TiBackup
Thanks JumboMan, but no joy. Set SELinux to permissive and the behaviour didn't change.

Titanium Backup Pro 7.5.0.3 - Restore all apps with data shows 0

I've just upgraded my Nexus 4 from cm-13.0-20160429-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2YJ-mako to cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J5-mako. First I backed up my apps and data with Titanium Backup Pro, using gzip and filtering on 'User' apps.
After wiping, re-installing Gapps, Google sync'ed my apps back to the device (mostly without data) which I hadn't seen before. I re-enabled the Developers option, re-installed SuperSU from zip, set Security to enable Unknown Sources, and went to Titanium Pro to restore my data. I restored the old ID; In Titanium the same filter shows all my backups are there on the device, with data - I can see each one - but the option to reinstall isn't available.
The batch 'Restore all apps with data' shows 0 of 153 backed-up apps.
Btw restoring xml sms and call logs, which are also present, failed with the messages 'Data restore failed for...' but I fixed this by switching from 'Normal Android Way' to 'File Way'
Have I missed something? Can anyone suggest how to get this working?
Although the backups are showing in the filter, I got Titanium to search and change the Backup Folder location from /storage/sdcard/TitaniumBackup to /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup without 'moving' the files, and reloaded applications:
1 Menu - Preferences... - Backup settings - * Backup folder location - DETECT! - select location - tap on 'USE THE CURRENT FOLDER'
2 Menu - SPECIAL FEATURES - Reload application
but it didn't help.
Finally figured it out...
Backup/Restore tab; Click to edit filters - Status: Backed up and Type: User are checked - correctly lists all my backed-up apps and data.
However the Filter by platform tab shows ROM Android version: 5.0.2 is checked, 6.0.1 is unchecked. Which is odd as none of the backups are 5.0.2 and I haven't used 5.0.2 for a long time.
Checking the 6.0.1 checkbox doesn't affect the list of backups, but when I go to Restore, they are listed.
And having unchecked 5.0.2, it now disappears from the Filter by platform section
Other incorrect and outdated information regarding the Rom build, and OS still remains, and I can't update it, but as it's not checked it doesn't matter.
Just another Titanium 'gotcha' Perhaps one for the TiBu devs.

Waiting to backup

I am trying to backup my android data and it's not getting backed up.
The backup button is greyed out and all the options like apps, settings etc are showing "waiting to backup"
I tried "bmgr backupnow --all" but that thing never works when need to restore data.
