Hello
Can somebody tell me the best way to Backup "Everything" ??
I used "Titanium Backup Pro" but it doesn't backup directly to the microSD card !!
I have to backup to the internal storage first which is Ridiculous !!
also after Restoring the apps with the data I had to reinstall many apps to get them working (which requires me to delete them and install them again) !!
Also it doesn't backup "Gameloft" games' data automatically !!
Is there a better way to Backup ?? Please reply..
Thanks in advance..
backup with Titanium Backup Pro , then copy "TitaniumBackup" folder to your microsd
do the same to the "Gameloft" folder , after u want to restore , copy back the "TitaniumBackup" folder and "Gameloft" folder , to your device
best way to backup , i did it like 5 times
You can backup directly to the micro SD card ... just make a folder on the microsd (i call mine Backup )
Open titaniumbackup .. press menu > preferences then scroll down to the "Backup folder location" and point it to the folder you've just created...
as for the gameoft files .. well your just gunna have to copy to sd card yourself (use ESFile explorer)

I mentioned that after Restoring the apps some of them don't work...
You have to delete them then install them from the market again !!
I will generally install from the markets website and use TB just to restore the data.

Then you are doing something wrong. I just did a restore yesterday (85 apps) and all of them is working. Latest TI backup pro.

In the titanium options settings are you sure you have both file and data checked to be backed up? Is it just paid apps that don't work?

Yes !! Both the app and it's data !! But i did the backup 3 months ago... It was the first time and the last time i did a backup !! I'm sure that the settings improved in the current version !!
As long as i remember... Only "Glu" games and 2 or 3 apps that i don't remember didn't work (force close) and the only way to reinstall market apps is to delete them and install them again.. but thankfully my game save was stored online on Facebook !!
However... I don't need to backup at the moment !! I'm waiting for ICS... and if it requires wiping then I'm gonna need to backup !!

well.. if you bought it off the market, it would be available to you to download and install from "my apps". if you didnt buy it(off the market), you should have copied the apk file over to your sd storage/computer.
so i reinstall mybackup pro and restore?

were you able to get this solved?
I'm having exactly same issue...
+1 same issue here.
Ive been trying to work out where the game saves files as the savegames are NOT on the SD card, it caches the files internally somewhere but i have limited dev knowledge on this sort of thing.
ive contacted the game dev but they were no help at all!
I had this problem but using my backup pro (free app) seemed to backup my apps with my saved data.
App-Backup restore does the job
Hi everyone, I recently installed cyanogen 10.1 for my note 10.1 N8010. It wouldn't install through CWM so I tried to install twrp through goo manager. It couldn't find a custom recover for my device so I flashed it through Odin. I was running android freedom at the time and had a nandroid of it. I wiped data in twrp, it said it would wipe data and cache only so I went ahead. After cyanogen flashed successfully I tried it out and downloaded titanium backup to restore my apps, they weren't there!!! Every restore option had a zero beside it, I checked the titanium backup folder to no avail. I decided to restore to android revolution as I had a backup. When I went to restore there were no files. No backup. I checked the clockworkmod folder and found the file but when I click properties it says - where size should be. Please help me as this is not my fault and I have a lot of important data in the backup. :crying:

Just check on your internal memory , there should be a folder named "0" , if you have this you will find all your titanium backup & CWM folder inside.

There's no "0" folder, would it be insidea folder itself or just on the SD card because I checked the SD card and is not there. :'(

Just move this to the root of the internal memory, get into CWM & you can restore your rom from there.

OK, I'll try but I don't think it's going to work.
nope
I tried to restore in twrp and when it said to select files to restore nothing appeared, if the backup was made in CWM do I have to flash CWM recovery to restore it?

Yes as long as you backed up with cwm you should restore with cwm

OK, going to try that, if it works you'll get a cyber hug, if not I'll transfer the titanium backup from my phone as I had all the same applications except some games like nova 3, but they just took up space anyway.
nope
Nope, didn't work, I'll just move my phone apps to the tablet and down load the rest. Thanks anyway
Wait
Wait, in my storage it says clockworkmod is taking up 3.01GB, that cant be empty space, It might all be blobs, ca someone explain this to me?

Hi,
I recently sent my Samsung Galaxy Ace off for repair and as I expected, it came back wiped. I had backed up all my apps and games using ES FILE EXPLORER and I copied and pasted all my SD files onto my PC. Now I put my SD card baack into my phone but the apps and games didt load again.
So I decided to format the SD card and try again. It didnt work. Now I know the google account keeps track of all the apps you install but when I re-installed some that way, they didnt keep all my data.
Surely if I had backed up the apps and app data there is a way I can get all my apps back with my saved progress on them? Also I have read through some other threads on this and as yet cant find a non root (no titanium backup) solution.
Thanks

Usually, file explorers that offer backup options do not backup app data. Just the apks. So you actually have not backed up the app data. Hence restoring it is not possible.
If your phone is rooted, you can use Titanium Backup Pro to backup all your apps with app data. Or you could use the method detailed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511835
Hi guys, I recently just flashed CM 12.1 w/ Android 5.1.1 on my Zenfone 2.
Before doing that, I backed up my apps+data using Titanium Backup. After flashing, I transferred back the Titanium Backup folder in the internal storage where it originally was. I then re-installed Titanium Backup. Unfortunately, there's 0 apps that can be restored according to Titanium Backup. I even checked the Storage location and it even showed my backups.
Help ASAP. TIA
Install the apps before backup. It might work.

Nevermind, just found out that my backups were corrupted. Anyways, is there anyway to restore the data of the apps instead? I dont mind re-downloading the apps again as long as I can get my data back
In the titanium backup.
One off the two zips will have you apk inside. Just open the zip and install the apk

Hi there...how did you solve the problem?
I also have the same problem...I backed everything up then flashed cyanogenmod Marshmallow 6.0.1 then after flash copied all the backup folder back to internal memory so it can be seen by Titanium backup app and still doesn't work...it doesn't see anything...although it sees the location and the files under titanium backup/preferences/Backup Settings...Backup Folder Location..but in the app I cannot see any of the apps I backed up...how can I solve the problem..please help me
i think titanium needs to be updated to the latest version. the older version somehow doesn't work and don't see the backups properly (on my stock z3c pre rooted rom). after I installed the latest version, it worked like a charm
WARNING: Titanium doesn't backup the media folder for Whatsapp nor Wechat. backup the media that you want manually before flashing. the chatlogs are backed up properly

Hi Everyone
Sorry for digging up an old topic but I have a very similar situation and almost got gray hair already
Did anyone found a solution to the issue from opening post ?
Here's what I have done (and already regret it
- I was on stock 5.1.1 android for xperia z1 compact D5503
- I have installed Kingroot to remove some bloatware applications through titanium backup.
- Then I have made a backup of all applications of my interest (sms/mms, k9-mail etc.) and copied that to a folder on external sd card.
- Then I came over idea of Pre-rooted stock roms. Performed that (downgrade to 4.4.4, root, dual recovery, instal pre-rooted rom from zip).
- Installed TiBackup, copied all backups from sd to internal memory.
- Opened TiBackup - mind blown - no apps with backups.. In Preferences - Folder backups are shown.
Any ideas? Corrupted backups? That would make me very sad
Any help much appreciated.

OK,
I have solved the riddle. So easy and obvious that I didn't notice.
When I was doing all the stuff from the post above I was using sd card reader.
So to be on the safe side - i have copied all SD card content to win10 PC.
Then when I thought I was ready - copied all to 1 folder "Stuff" and then to SD card.
What I have missed was that during that process file extensions were changed. So all *.properties were now *.properties.txt and all *.bzip were *.bzip.zip and so on.
So my problem is solved. Perhaps someone else could use it too.
Best regards
ky0q
thanks a lot .. that solve my problem
Yeh, SD card to the rescue!
