I tried MyBackup on my TF700 (JB 4.1.1) and it failed to backup some of my paid apps such as ' Bloons TD4' or 'Where is my water'.
The error I get is: Bloons TD4: /mnt/asec/com.digital..../pkg.apk: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
I contacted the developers of MB but got no response. Maybe somebody on the XDA forum knows what's going on and can help.
I choose MyBackup over Titanium Backup because I don't want to root my tablet just to be able to make a simple backup.

Maybe it's an Open Source app that does not like non-Open Source app ...
(sorry, i'm not helping you much)
Yesterday I tried Apps Backup from asus as an alternative. But was totally disapointed. For almost every game I have the restore of app data failed.
Maybe rooting is my only option left.
Emailed the developers of MyBackup twice. Got no response ... grrrrrr. On another forum I found that somebody got an answer to a similar question that only when you are rooted paid apps can be backed up. I think this should be in the info on Google Market, because for most people the sole purpose of a backup app is to save your progress in paid games between factory resets.

No, the reason I included in my opening post. Just don't want to root my tab just to be able to make a backup.

Without root all backup software are obsolete! without root, the backup will not backup or restore correctly. I believe Mybackup is only offers a paid version which is Mybackup Pro and a free version which is Mybackup root. The old version Mybackup is discontinued.

Hi folks
What would be the easiest and most thorough way of backing-up/syncing everything on my Xperia X10? I have read some advice on the SE website but I am unsure whether what they suggest includes absolutely everything on my phone, i.e. downloads from the Andriod Market, contacts, music, pictures, settings, etc.
I previously had a Nokia 5800 which had an in-built backup programme which made a copy of everything onto the memory card.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Scott
Latest firmware has a backup tool.
I didn't test it
I personally use Titanium but you need root for it.

Thanks tux Style. What firmware version has this backup tool?
My phone has firmware version 1.6 and build number R1FA016
Yea I like the back up Sony provides in the update.

The SE Backup Tool (and My Backup Pro too) doesn't include Shortcuts on the Homescreen (I'm using Zeam Launcher).
Does Titanium include absolutely everything?

I have used My Backup PRO for 2 months till today and today I have tried Titanium Backup beacause I dont want to have both apps on my phone and let me tell you, this app restores your phone to the EXACT state as it were when you made backup. I mean, wallpaper, widgets, shortcuts, data, Market links, EVERYTHING, literally EVERYTHING ! I havent tried My Backup PRO with root features, without them it worked great 1 month ago when I didnt have root but I have decided to dump one of these apps since I hate to have 2 apps that do the same thing and Titanium was first choice because it has ability to uninstall stock apps after root AND it restores all apps with one click, no manual confirmation for installation. Those are 2 major and BIG advantages of Titanium Backup over MyBackup PRO.
Hope it helps

Fantastic! I will give Titanium Backup a go but it certainly sounds promising. My device is not rooted but if it worked for you then I am sure the same will be for me.
Thanks again
Scott
Hm, you cant use Titanium if you are not rooted :-\ Also, non rooted phones cannot backup Market links and data in apps. For non rooted phones MyBackup PRO is the only solution and the best one, that for sure.

Yea you are correct...I am not rooted and it therefore did not work.
I will go check out MyBackup PRO and see how I get on.
Thanks again for all your assistance.

I have accidentally bricked my phone do to some tests on modding
So before that I use SE backup and restore and Titanium to back up apps and data.
after re-rooting, first I use SE restore and restored basics.
and Titanium first to restore all my apk files and then selective applications of data.
Im have easily got my previous state around 95% of it
I would recommend SE backup and restore and Titanium combination strongly to any one.
What does TB backup ? Because MyBackup PRO backups SMS, contacts, call logs, apps, market links, settings, only thing that it DOES NOT backup are widgets and wallpaper. I read on other forum that Titanium does not backup SMS and contacts, WTF ?

sms, contacts, call log stuff will cover by SE backup and restore.
for me, all my contacts are sync with Google mail. so i just need to sign-in, automatically all will sync with out backup.
That means that Titanium does not cover that !?!? MyBackup PRO covers all of that, I cannot believe that TB does not do that.

You got to be kidding . Titanium will backup *everything*. No app without root access (such as MBP) will do the same.
SMS is called "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 1.6"
Contacts data is called "[Contacts/Calls] Contacts Storage 1.6"
Look at the Legend - "green" is "system service with useful data" and filter by "system" in the Backup/Restore list.
I also was really suprised when I saw this:
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/128633-mybackup-pro-need-help.html
And I have abandoned MyBackup PRO because I dont want to have 2 apps that do the same thing and TB was better because it could uninstall apps after root. But my schedule backup in TB does not work !?!? It is ON and on ignore list in Task Manager but no backup was made
EDIT: MBP also has root acces.
Well, is something strange.
The schedule is working but it seems is missing some tasks.
At least on my phone.
Nope, mine says with red letters next backup and writes date and hour but when that passes it only says next time when it is scheduled but also says "No backups yet". Really have no clue why is that so...
Is the default Backup and Restore program any good?
Hello, I have a question, I come to have a milestone, and can be done
an entire system backup using nandroid backup, there is something similar in
the xperia? like I can do if you accidentally brick the phone?
P.S: sorry for my bad inglish, google translate sucks xD
Sorry if this question has been posed already, I tried searching the forums.
I finally rooted my Thunderbolt with Bamf remix 1.5 and have everything setup. When version 1.6 comes out and I want to upgrade, what should I use to backup all of my apps and data so I can restore everything after upgrading the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
Use Titanium Backup for apps and data. If you need help, let me know. Titanium Backup's UI isn't the most user friendly.
You should always make a backup of your current ROM before flashing anything new. Incase something goes wrong you can revert to your backup. Just use ROM Manager for that.
Thank so much. I made a backup and saved it as update.zip. The problem is when I browse my sdcard with root explorer there is nothing in the "Titanium Backup" folder.
OK nevermind. I think I've got it.

Okay, cool. I would recommend getting the Pro version so you can do batch backups. Although, that feature might be on the free verson. I dunno.
I think you can do batch backups on the free version but only for Apps. I think I tried that last night.
On the free version you have to manually hit install for each individual app and the paid version does of for you in batch mode. It is well worth it to purchase the paid version of titanium, along with root explorer and rom manager if you are new to the root game. Good luck.
I recently flashed a new rom (the last time I did this was almost 2 years ago so I forgot what to do). Titanium backup has been doing weekly updates for a long time. So when I started up the phone titanium backup is gone, I read that I must redownload from the play store, but when I run it, it says I failed to acquire root privileges. It tells me to get busy box, so I download that too, but that won't install properly.
What should I do now? Have I lost root? The bootloader is available...that means it's still rooted right? The internal sd card still shows my folder of titanium backup and all the other root folders I used to have on my phone, I just can't get titanium backup to run so i can't restore.
Thanks!

If you flash a new rom root is lost.
You have to root again.
S.R.
A few of the JB ROMS were causing issues with root. The fix was to re-flash the SU (superuser) apk and that would fix things right up. You should be able to find it doing a search.
Good luck and hope this helps!

Lets start with a few basic questions... dont mean to offend you, just wanna make sure its not something you may have overlooked.
What rom did you flash?
What, if anything, did you wioe in recovery?
Did you get a superuser or supersu prompt when titanium started?

Not necessarily so. Most custom roms are pre-rooted by the dev. Ive flashed countless roms and until recently w/ jb not had any issues w/ root access.

it pretty much looks like this in TitBack, give or take a few letters: "[SMS/MMS/APN] Phone/Messaging...". when you tap on it, the pop-up recognizes it as "Phone/Messaging Storage". this is where your text messages are.
some 3rd-party MMS apps like GoSMS Pro can back up your messages too, and I believe there's also an app or two solely for backing up your messages to your sdcard/internal storage.
Titanium Batch restore fail
Hi all
Having a few problems, I'm new to flashing roms and the use of Titanium Backup and I've just flashed my second ROM. I've gone from CM9 to CM10. Before doing so I created a backup of apps + data.
I flashed the ROM fine, and ran the batch restore function in Titanium. I have all the icons on my homescreen from the previously installed apps but after clicking on them my phone tells me that app isn't installed. I then notice that my notification from Titanium's batch restore shows the apps I had downloaded from the play store failed to restore (the notification said that the elements failed after batch restore was complete).
I noticed that these apps have a line through them when the list of apps I want to restore appears.
Titanium then advised me that the apps did not restore as the Android ID had changed, So I then reverted to the previous android ID thinking this to be the solution. However, after running the restore function again, the same amount of elements failed to restore.
Due to my lack of knowledge in Titanium and my need for these apps, I turned to the play store and decided to manually redownload all the apps again. This does not work either! The error message I get is the apps cannot be downloaded due to an error (491). I guess this is to do with the android ID changing?
Please help, how can I get these apps to restore? and also how can I be able to download apps from the play store again? :crying:
EDIT: So I was able to reinstall the apps from the play store by wiping the dalvik + cache.
This still leaves me baffled as to why Titanium wasn't able to do this

Did you try to restore system apps? I always use tb w/ the pro key to restore user apps + data, and have been getting the changed android id lately, but whether I keep the new id or revert to the old one, my restore works. Depending on what ROM I'm going to or from, sometimes I have to change my home screen shortcuts for system apps.

I didn't select restore system apps, instead I selected restore all apps with data, failing that I tried restore missing apps + all system data.
What option should I normally be selecting to do a straight restore after flashing a ROM? Does the fact that there is a line through the apps that I'm trying to restore mean anything?
I always select "restore missing apps + data" it's the 1st option under restore in the batch menu. The apps with a line through them are the ones that tb recognizes as being backed up but not installed.

So, I'm going to install a new rom. I'm going back from JB to ICS. I was planning to wipe everything using TWRP. Meaning I'll wipe: system, cache, dalvik, factory reset, and android secure. Now I'm looking for a good backup app that can help me restore all of my apps and their saves after I install the new rom. I want to restore all of my games together with all of my save files. I've heard of Titanium and Go although I hear that titanium is only good if it is the paid version. Hopefully, you guys can provide me with a great backup app that is free. Thanks.
For root users: Titanum Backup.
For non root users: Carbon.

Backup and restore is in paid version only
But u can find the cracked version from google
Restoring system files after installing rom is not advisable
I recommend only to restore some files like games data files from titanium backup but not others

Yes, its good enough, unless you want more goodies like batch restoring of backed up apps, unlimited schedules, cloud syncing, restoring from nandroid backups etc. For that, you need to go PRO. Trust me, its worth the money.
P.S. Even if you're rooted, you can use Helium (previously Carbon) also. :good:
Do you guys know of any free backup app that can do batch restore?
Titanuim back up is the best app to do that. The free version makes it longer to restore because it asks permission for every singal app it restores. so if you have a 100 apps, then you'd have to press "yes" 100 times and i found that so annoying. lol. It is worth every penny you pay for sure. And just like the other guys said, I don't recommend restoring the systems files at all, you will get a lot of FC's and error messages and it gets soooo annoying. Restore only the "missing apps". If you like the how you organized your touchwiz, back it up then restore it on the ROM.I have been using titanuim for too long and I know quite a bit about it. Just ask if you have anything question
For me Titanum Backup is also the best backup app for android
Titanium is so worth the money if you want to backup and restore frequently.

The best one for me is Titanium Backup.
Titanium backup is probably the best backup tool. The free version is not very limited compared to other backup tools and it's always been reliable for me.
I would recommend using a recovery to backup your entire device in case if it gets soft bricked.
I use titanium backup too. I use also online nandroid backup to make a backup of the device

Titanium requires the device to be rooted. What's the best method of backing up my Note 10.1 TO MY PC without having it rooted? I need to back it up before rooting it.
So you can try helium.
Helium doesn't require root permission. I'm sorry but I can't post the link of the app
