So as far as I understand, the tablet has the option to backup your bookmarks and what market applications you have downloaded. Whenever I do a factory restore, my bookmarks are never restored and the market only reinstalls a select few applications I had before. It seems a straightforward process, but I don't know why it just doesn't work for me, unless it just doesn't work at all....

Hey everyone, been working on this for a couple hours and think I'm pretty well stuck. Coming from an EVO, where I deleted the stock email app with no problem, I then backed it up, and proceeded to delete it from my brothers D2G in titanium.
Upon deleting, I found that the stock messaging app would open far enough for you to see the inbox for a split second before closing on itself and making texting unusable.
To replicate, I grabbed my sisters D2G and backed the email app, email authenticator, and one more email related thing that I can't recall at the moment, then deleted them and caused her the exact same problem.
Now that I knew my issue, I thought I could just restore everything happily in titanium and it would be fine, but it's not happening. Titanium says it's restoring, but just sits there and works forever without doing anything. I'm trying to find the email.apk and see if I can just reinstall that and bring everything back, but I'm not sure.
One of the fixes in titanium was to buy the pro version and change the app processing selection to auto, indirect, but I don't want to buy the pro version on something that may or may not provide a real solution.
Any ideas anyone?
There's a high chance you'll have to flash the SBF image to restore everything. Make a backup of everything, flash the SBF, update to 4.5.608, and restore with TiBu.
In the future, do not delete stock apps with TiBu. Use the Freeze function.
Hi,
If installing a new rom wipes all data, when will we have a backup apps like the titanium Backup for Android????
Windows sinc is cool to restore the contacts but doesn't restore emails and apps
Emails should generally be left on the server (by default the phone only caches them for a few weeks anyhow) but yes, the app data is an issue. There's supposedly a good backup app coming, but I've yet to see it in any way other than a teaser screenshot so I can't tell you how close it is to readiness. There are other backup options, but (while I've never used Titanium Backup and therefore can't compare it) none of the currently-published ones are *really* easy.

where did you see the screenshot???
having done this exercise recently let me tell you of my experience:
1. i had a a backup in zune, incase i wanted to return
2. switched to Tango based rom, used SMSbackup to restore. Though it restored the text messages it kinda screws up the contact list and e-mail accounts. Currently, not stable and fixed. Known issue.
3. Zune backup restore didn't happen, got 801812E0 error and got screwed
4. Though you will lose your saved games, achievements will be there. You can look into using WP7 root data and use it to backup data. I had backed whatsapp messages through this method.
Moved To WP7 Q&A
Please do not post questions in the development section

Is SMSBackup a built-in app for the computer, the phone or does it have to be downloaded from the Marketplace? I really want to be able to backup my SMS messages.
Yeah, I just installed a custom rom and I was under the impression that Zune does a backup and when you re-connect, it will restore at least some things. hahaha. No way. Then I found out that the restore will only restore your phone after it does a software update through Zune. I am used to WebOS, which was great in restoring almost everything over the air.
Hope we get a good backup soon.
But, does anyone know if there is a place on the local computer that would have at least the Internet shortcuts from WP? I looked under some of the Zune folders but didn't see anything.
Hello,
I have a Nokia Lumia 820 and I need to reset my phone since the Nokia Drive+application is not responding properly. I have downloaded a offline map of around 700MB and I would not want to download it again after a reset. I have many installed apps, which I do not want to reinstall after a phone reset.
I have backup enabled for App list + settings. When I click on manual backup, it says backup is complete. But when I go to my skydrive, managed devices, I see the message "You don’t have any devices that are backing up settings to SkyDrive"
If skydrive doesn't have my backed up apps, where are they located ?
If I reset my phone, is there any chance that, my apps would going to be restored ?
If the skydrive message is correct, then how do I make sure that, apps are backed up on skydrive ?
Is this an unfixed bug of not backing the the apps on skydrive even if the backup is enabled on phone ?
Are there any third party tools using which I can backup my apps installed on the phone ?
I have posted this on MS community but no answer yet.
any help would be appreciated.
Here's an answer.

Let's say I do a clean flash of a ROM and check the option to backup everything and restore everything from Google in the set up. When all the apps install from the Play Store automatically, could I open TiBu and Restore all apps with data>Data only? I'm asking this because I remember doing this but I can't quite remember if it worked or not. Last time I heard, Google Play doesn't really sync all app data to preserve game progress, settings, etc in apps.
I'm currently running Android 6.0 DP3 on my Nexus 5 and have to perform a clean flash due to battery drain issues. However, this will make me go through the whole backup and re-setup process again - backup images, backup Whatsapp, backup all documents and download, flash the phone, restore everything, log into the different apps, set up Gmail accounts etc. Obviously, I'm not looking forward to that it's basically also the reason which has kept me from trying different ROMs on my phone in the past. I know that there is Titanium Backup just for that job, but it needs root access and I can't root my phone because this will trigger the "phone isn't secure"-alarm of my bank's super cautious TAN app which will stop it from working (just like using Tasker does, which obviously sucks).
So I am looking for a way to backup my phone's data, apps and app data without having to root the phone. Is there any possibility for that?
easy way just plug it in usb to u pc copy all u stuff to drive on u pc and long u have u gmail loged in u contacts ect sync u should not lose anything fresh install set u new settings copy u images music ect back through usb and done and cleaned same time
Yeah, that works, of course - but won't save me the hassle-full process of restoring the latest Whatsapp backup, manually copying all files, logging into my apps and downloading 20 GB of Play Music All Access offline music.
