So I have Titanium Backup Pro installed. I backed up all user apps and data. I have been experiencing problems with the battery on the Infuse, so I decided to restore to factory settings via the Privacy tab in Settings. Now my TB is gone! WTH? I thought TB backs up to your SD card? My Sone Ericcson X10 does it that way? The infuse backed up to the internal memrory, now all my backup is gone! Anyone else have this issue? And how can I force TB to backup to SD card, not internal memory?
That's all working as intended. The Factory Reset wipes the internal SD Card.

You would have to backup then physically move the backup to the external sd
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
Or configure TiBu to backup to the external to SD card. Or dropbox.

In the TB preferences you can switch the destination to your physical SD card.

Quick question here. If I do a restore, will I lose newly taken pictures? It will touch the SD card... but only a few folders? Or does it leave the SD card alone?
SD card untouched. Some things (app sys info stuff) may be freshly written on first boot, but nothing deleted that's user content or new since restore like pictures. App info for apps not present in backup will even remain on SD card after restore.

No, Nandroid backs up only what is in the phone's internal storage.
The photos will be fine.
Ok I have upgraded all the way to JB but went back to ICS because of some issues with JB.
I do my backups to my external SD card and I know that the format is different with ICS.
My External SD card shows that it has data on it but I cant seem restore from it with my backup software.
Would be really nice to get to what I have on there.
Thanks.

The names of the paths to the Internal and External SD cards are different from ICS to JB. (And therefore, in reverse.)
JB puts the External SD in /emmc (or /storage/sdcard1) and the Internal SD in /sdcard (/storage/sdcard0)
I think these paths are swapped in ICS.
Change, in the options of your backup program (Titanium Backup?), the path of where backups are stored to the other path, and it should work.
(I had to do that to read a TiBu backup from ICS on JB.)

I think that my problem is application specific but if something comes to mind with anyone.
Oh the one application that I was trying to use was mybackup pro.

Does that app allow you to change where it stores or finds its backups?
It does. I use mybackup pro and never have had any issues restoring from the internal sd. Never have tried from an ext sd though. (Don't use one)

Hit menu button and go to options. The first box should ive backup location. I use backup pro myself and back up to external since its 32gb works great. The app defaults to internal but can be change to any directory.

Change the path on the software, where the apps are now located.
I am on Slip CM9 using sd2ext+ on a 2gb memory card with a 512mb ext partition.
I just got an 8gb kingston card, gonna make a 1gb ext partition on it. Need to know how I can transfer all Apps and data from one card to the other? I DONT HAVE A CARD READER!!! And the backups made via recovery is for some reason not backing up ext, can't I somehow backup whole ROM and ext stuff, then insert 8gb card make the new partition and restore everything? Another option is titanium backup obviously.
Anyway, just give me different options? How to transfer Apps and data from ext, keeping in mind that I dont have a card reader.
Easyest way is Titanium, Flash new rom, then transfer titanium's backup folder and you'll be fine. Another way is some kind of driver for windows which allow's you to read and write ext file systems and just copy paste, but with this I'm pretty sure that most of the app's won't work.

Oh thanks, On Sony Ericsson x10 mp, when I made nandroid backup via cwm, it automatically backed up ext folder as well, I was hoping that might be possible here as well with some recovery. Anyhow, titanium it is then, it just takes a hell lot of time backing up and then restoring.
....
instead of restoring the whole backup u can also restore just apps(u have tis option in recovery).....dat'll do the same...but migt save u a couple of minutes....

Can't get you properly but I guess titanium backup solves it

Hi All,
Just recently updated and installed CM9 ROM on my p5100. I need to restore the apps on my external SD Card. I checked from the Settings > Storage and still see that my External SD Card still has data in it. i have tried to unmount and re-mount it but still I dont have my apps back. I tried installing ES file Explorer from google paly and it shows I already have the app. Please, please help.
Thank you!
What app are you using to restore? and how did you make the backup? Restoring depends on how you made the back up in the 1st place.
I changed the backup location to a newly created folder in my external sd card after I backed up apps and data and it asked if I wanted to move my previous back ups and I said yes. It did nothing but still shows my back up location in my sd card. I deleted all my backup files and retried it. I retried backing up and it still is backing up in my titanium backup folder on my internal memory instead of the backup location I specified in the preferences. Do I have to manually move the files every time I backup?
If its backup to internal memory than leave it there.. It might cant found them if you move them. Im just saying but not sure....

Okay, but what happens if I have a problem and have to wipe the internal memory? Obviously I would have to have it on the external sd, right?
TB pro set backup to ext sd card in TB settings is the norm .
You do not make a folder let TB do that .

I don't understand the first sentence. Do you have to have the PRO version in order for it to backup to the SD card? I tried a couple of times to backup to an SD location that I created, and it still wouldn't backup there. It just kept backing up to the main Titanium Backup folder on the internal memory.

No idea bought Pro version on day one .
all my TB backups are on Ext SD card on Note and SGS3 .
Do you have the genuine TB app From Titanium Track .
