Asus's Backup App won't open restore files? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I backed up my apps using Asus's App Backup Program.
But when I try to restore an app, it won't open file no matter what password I try to enter, which I never set a password to begin with.
I tested this issue by just backing up one app with no password set and then trying to restore and once again it won't open the file.
Thanks

When I backed up an app (in order to use sparky root) I'm pretty sure I was forced to enter a password for the backup. Are you sure you were able to have no password?

I actually ran several tests, by just backing up one app for speed. I ran one test without entering for a password and another test using a simple 4 number password which is the minimum allowed.
The backup app would not open any of the backed up files?
Can you try testing it out for me? Just backup one file, with or without a password. Then try to restore it. See if it will open the file to start the restore process.
Thanks

Has anyone gotten Titanium Backup to restore apps from 2.2?

None of the processing modes work for me, and I get "parse error" when using the interactive mode. Any ideas?
i was able to restore succesfully
Hmm. Maybe it's because I downloaded straight from my Dropbox. I'll try directly copying the files.
Edit: That did the trick.
Any ideas why I might be getting a problem where I select an App, it says 'What would you like to restore?' and there are no buttons underneath to select App or Data?
Hi all,
Yes it should work with 2.3, I've already got positive reports, including a couple from G themselves
Parse error means an apk backup is corrupted. I'll do some additional tests on the Dropbox download code, since it might be related.
Thanks!

This happens when you have a data-only backup, and you can't restore it because the app is not installed anymore. The typical case is system apps that are gone in your new Rom.
Okay, it looks like I backed them up wrong I guess. Will have another go, thanks.
I tried again, still not working...
Each app has 3 files in the folder. Some apps I can install from the market and then re-apply the data, but others wont (K-9 Mail for example)
Any ideas?
This is very strange, you should definitely be able to restore the data from any backup, as long as the corresponding app is installed...

Indeed, there was a serious problem with the Dropbox download code. That's the last time I'm taking Dropbox's sample code for granted. It's fixed in 3.6.5 (and the problem existed only for *downloading*, not for uploading).
Thanks !
I can restore app data if I manually install the app first. I used to be able to batch backup all my apps and then batch restore them all. Why can't I from 2.2 to 2.3?

Probably something wrong with your source, in this case, the apps and data. I've had no issue at all besides updating busybox when I first launched the app. I just transfered the TB folder from my computer to the phone and did a restore, everything worked fine.

Thanks for the awesome quick fix! Just another reason why Titanium Backup is one of my most loved apps!

I've tried two backups now both the same problem.
Market busybox is 1.17, so I installed it (and ran it), but in TB it still says 1.16?

Am having difficulties too. Restoring from a Desire (Leedroid 2.2f) to a nice new Desire HD (Leedroid 1.51). Have even tried to restore from the original SD card, but Titanium on the HD never sees / recognises the backup made on the desire. And yes, the backup folders in titanium are set to the same name and path (default). The Titanium app versions are different - The newest version is on the HD and I understand that it is meant to support backups from previous versions. I can see all the backup files in the backup folder too. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

no problem at all
just hit restore all user apps
30 min later done
300+ apps (aprox 1 min each restore)

Wouldn't that be 300 minutes at 1 per minute...?
I think it's 0.1 mins/app, or about 6 seconds each based on your time and apps.
i do suck at match
i'll die without a piece of Tech with me
i used to remember the whole multiplication table up to 12x12, and come up with the answer immediately
but now it takes me a while to even think the answer for 3x7 LOL
too CPU dependent now

Should I try it via dropbox - Would it make any difference?
Am not using the same gmail address for the new phone - Does Titanium try and be very clever and link the backup to a user or a specific device?

no, TB will restore it regardless, but any purchased apps, will be gone from market
the purchased apps are linked to specific gmail accounts

[Q] App Backup issue - Not restoring all data

I recently went from Stock JB to Scotts CleanRom 2.3 and Data2SD (Completely awesome btw). Before I wiped everything out, I did an app+data backup using the Asus App Backup program that came on the device. After I was finished flashing everything, I restored all of the apps and data from the file I made earlier. Most of the data came back without issue. However, when I fire up Bad Piggies HD, it acts like a new install and all my progress has been lost. Has anyone else tried to restore data from Bad Piggies using the built-in backup app?

I have not used the Asus app, but have you given Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root a shot? Both work very well and I've never had issues. If you have a nandroid, you can revert back, backup, and then reinstall your ROM with apps again.

Thanks for the suggestions. I normally do use Titanium Backup. However, I was not yet rooted when I made the initial backup so I used the built in app that was on the device instead.
Thanks
Rovio handles this game's data different. Unfortunately, I found this out the hard way as well...
The data is stored in
sdcard/Android/data/com.rovio.BadPiggies or com.rovio.BadPiggiesHD

Yes rovio store their data on the sdcard. There are specific programs on the market for backing up game files. Rovio = Muppets.

Asus App Backup Application

I recently got my TF300T back from RMA, and want to restore a backup file from the Asus App Backup utility, only problem is that I do not remember the password. (In fact, I don't even remember setting a password when I initially used the app.)
Does anyone know if there is a way to recover the password to the back-up file? I tried every possible password combination that I have EVER used or continue to use but no luck. Funny thing is, I don't remember ever using this app to begin with, but my tablet shows 4 backup files from back in February.
Anywho... Is there a way to recover the password, or am I simply SOL??
Thanks

Asus backup app issues

Hi folks,
I am on the latest FW, not rooted, locked BL and have issues with the Asus backup utility.
It always fails to backup some of the running apps like Apex launcher, Swiftkey, Dropbox etc...
To be able to backup these apps I always need to manually kill them first which is really annoying.
Just wondering - is it just me or is it the crappy Asus backup app?
I know that the best thing I could do is root + Titanium Backup, but in fact I do not need to be rooted because of anything else so it is not worth the time spent on it for me.
Thanks
Do you need the user data backed up too if not you can download App Backup from the Play Store.

Unfortunately yes as the app data settings are the major reason for a back up.
not sure if it works but give it a try

Force Android Backup?

Is there anyway to force an entire phone backup to occur immediately? I looked through the following website:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/bmgr.html
All I found there was how to force individual apps to backup... I'm wanting to force a backup of everything Google backs up (Market, Settings etc...)

That's what a Recovery exists for, so you can do a full phone backup.

Yeah I do this too... The reason I'm relying on the Android backup this time is because it also backs up WiFi passwords. I use two phones, and a job that's stingey about giving out the WiFi password. So on my main phone I have the WiFi entered (by an employee that won't give out the password to anyone else) and I'm wanting to do a factory reset on my backup phone and restore the main phone's settings, thus putting the WiFi password on the backup phone.
I've tried to manually check the WiFi password in my system with root explorer but it just gives me a series of numbers, which is not the password. Idk how else to transfer the WiFi password to the other phone.

Titanium Backup has the option to backup WiFi settings, or check in wpa_supplicant.conf

The wpa file is what I manually checked and it just showed a coded password, not the actual password. I will look at TB again but for some reason I felt like that didn't work in the past.
Thanks for your suggestions!
