[Q] Backup Assistance

Real noob question here, how do I run a successful backup and restore after I used cwm to flash TnT Lite onto my gtablet. First time I did it, I backed up everything using titanium backup but upon returning to the newly flashed device I couldn't restore all of the applications and settings I backed up previously, I want to flash to 3.1.4 but I fear losing everything, again...
Help greatly appreciated!!!!

You should make 2 backups, one in clockworkmod under "backup and restore" and one in titanium backup for your apps and system data. After making those 2 backups, copy them over to your pc to be safe. Clockworkmod backup is in the .\clockworkmod\backups\[date backup was made) folder. Titanium backup is in the .\TitaniumBackup folder.

but how do I make get all my apps and settings restored...? I have the backups, but how do I restore them, do I do it through cmw??

From a fresh ROM install, install Titanium Backup. Within Titanium backup, go to the Backup/Restore tab, then press the menu button, select Batch, then you will have options to restore your apps and settings.

It has been recommended by the devs to not restore anything but your apps and their data. Don't restore system data from another rom.

Removing Titanium Backup Data

I made a backup using Titanium Backup and then flashed a new rom and got everything the way i want it
Is there a way to delete that back up?
Or will creating a new backup overwrite that one?

[Q]

I have uninstall some of the default apps in my samsung galaxy i9001 and mistakenly delete the back up using titanium backup How can i reinstall those apps??? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!

You can do a nandroid backup of the ROM you are on now. Then you can revert to a previous nandroid backup that contains the apps you want and save them in Titanium Backup. If you don't have a nandroid backup, you can revert back to stock, re root the phone, save the backups in Titanium and then go to your new backup.

thanks for your reply
could you teach me step by step how to do nandroid backup...how to revert etc?? >< i'm new to the android system n so pissed off...sorry for inconvenience caused((

[Q] Backups and restore. Titanium and Nandroid.

I have few questions about backups:
Nandroid:
1) So when I restore from a nandroid backup what do I exactly restore. I restore the rom this means any .zip mods I installed are gone. Do I restore radio, kernel, firmware, hboot?
2) When I do nandroid backup what happens to applications and data?
Titanium
3) What exactly system data backup (batch) backups? If I want to backup my my settings and WI-fi pairings and sms and phone call history and maybe some other 2-3 little things. If I do system data backup I will backup these things but when I restore if my previous configurations had lots of bloatware would I get unwanted things on my new configuration and slow down my phone?
4) Backing all user apps backups only .apks it means it installs the applications again?
5)User apps+ data means it will reinstall the apps and include saves and settings and etc right?
6) I've heard when backing up apps it's better to skip data why?
Thank you!

1. If you restore a previous backup then your mods will be gone (if they were not in that backup). kernel & firmware restored; hboot & radio not.
2.They get backed up (but not the data from the SD Card - just internal memory).
3. What you select (in Batch you can select). You just delete bloatware using TB after restore.
4. Correct, for settings and data you need the APPS+DATA option
5. Right
6. To avoid any complication with newer/older firmware - I always restored with data, and had no issues.

Thank you!
I just didn't understand completly about nandroid backup and apps.
If I use my phone for 5 days and install 5 aps and do a backup then use it 6 more days and install 6 more aps. After I do a nandroid restore the 6 aps installed after backup are lost and from the 5 installed before backup the ones that are not on SD will be restored. Correct? And if this is correct the restored apps will be only apk or apk + data?

[Completed] can i restore my apps only from cwm backup?

i have a cwm backup and want to restore apps from it . ant way to do it?

Hi,
If your cwm version has an option to restore data partition only... That can work. But, I've read many issues from people trying to do this. Using Titanium backup to backup your apps and data is by far the better way.
You could restore your full backup. Get titanium backup and backup your apps and data. Then flash a new rom and get titanium backup again and restore your user apps.
That's the best and most popular way. ?
Good luck!
