put them back onto your sd card, into the same place, open mybackup pro and press the restore option.

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?

[Q] Best way to Backup Everything ??

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...

I will generally install from the markets website and use TB just to restore the data.

The only Glu game I have is Blood & Glory, but that restored fine :/

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 !!

stock rom

I lost my wifi when i rooted and can not find a fix. If i install the stock rom for my sch-i905 on this site, will i lose my installed apps if i use app backup and restore. If yes, can i move the backed up apps file to my computer, reinstall the backup and restore app, move the backed up file back to tab and restore?

The backup files are stored on the SD card which is not wiped during that process. You don't need to move them (unless you really want to ).

[Q] Need help moving "Titanium Backup" backups to a separate phone

Ok, so here's the deal. I just bought a GS3 coming from a Inspire 4G and I used Titanium Backup to back up all my .apks and their data. I installed Titanium Backup onto the S3 and moved the data from the external SD to the internal memory where the Titanium Backup folder was created for the S3. But the problem is the apps aren't showing up in Titanium Backup where I can reinstall them. Even if I install the app then open Titanium Backup to see if it recognizes the backup now that the app is on the phone I still get nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Restore apps?

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

Titanium Backup - Can't restore apps+data after flash

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!
