So, I have a couple of questions about titanium backup. 1. Does your backup data store to the cloud? If not, where? 2. Let's say I make a backup of app data, then I change to a new ROM. If I try and restore my phone with the backup I made on the old ROM, will that brick my dad device? 3. Does Tibu backup more than app data? If so, can it cross over ROMS? sorry if these are noobish questions.

Forget I said dad. Not sure where that came from.

1. By default it saves to the SD card. If you buy the paid version you can have it additionally sync to the cloud (Dropbox, Box, or Drive).
2. If you restore only user apps (apps you downloaded from the market) and not system apps (ROM specific apps) you shouldn't have any problems across ROMs.
3. It CAN backup system apps if you wish, but restoring them on a different ROM is not recommended.

Not completely sure how to backup all my data for this phone. I want to do some experimenting, but I need to figure out how to back up first. Any ideas?
I really don't want to buy anything that is not needed. Does LG have its own software for backups similar to BlackBerry? That would be nice and simple.

Check this out. You'll have to root.

titanium backup or my backup pro. though neither backs up the stuff you have on your internal memory like pictures and such.
Best way to backup is to root, flash clockwork recovery, and create a nandroid backup. It creates an exact snapshot of the current state of your system (apps and settings). Copy all your photos videos and music to your computer tho because I'm not sure if it backs those up.

When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

So i wiped everything and started over with a stock ICS rom, everything went well - but how can i restore all (or most) of my old apps..
i did backups with titanium,and i can see all the apk files (along with other stuff) but is there an easier way to do this? i thought titanium would show me a list of all the old backed up files and i could check to install them all.
i could always go through the folder but some things are funny names i.e:
com.something.dudesname.PROGRAMNAME.version.apk ? lol
that would take for ever to sort through..
for you guys that flash roms all the time, how do you re-install your apps??
I have the paid version of titbu. I just do a batch b/u of user apps and after the flash I do a restore user apps.
From the b/u and restore menu you tap the check mark on the upper right corner of the page.

In titanium backup look for batch option button. Look for the check marked box on the top. Hit that button and it will take you to a new page. Select restore apps and data. Select the apps you want to restore and hit he button in the top right corner. Wait til It restoring all the files and you're done.

I also have the paid version.. But on titanium backup I only see the new ics apps none of my gb apps.
Found it under preferences / backup location had it auto detect and it found it on my external sd card.. Now I can restore my old apps and data!
You *could* just go into the Play store, My Apps -> Installed, and re-install everything. If you backed up with TiBU and didn't have it backup to GDrive/Dropbox/Box or an external SD - and remove the external SD when you flashed - it probably erased all the BU data.
Hi guys,
I'm a noob to Android and would like to backup my apps and their data so I can flash a rom.
All I really want is just some data from games I play and phone contacts/texts.
What is the easiest way I can do this? None of the threads I have found help in backing up app data.
If you just looking to backup the game download just save the android folder from your sd card or internal then use titanium backup it will save the way everything is set up also if ant if the apps have an option to backup settings then do that before tb and u should be good

Hello everyone, I restored the first backup of my LG-P999 through cwm to stock. I had already installed titanium backup after rooting my phone and before flashing roms. And now that I am back on this stock rom none of the apps i used to have running cm7 will show up in titanium backup. Is there a folder I could extract from my cm7 backup to get them all back? Also just curious because I will be getting a new phone soon and how I am going to get all my apps back.
Thanks in advance

In titanium under preferences go to backup folder location it has an option to automatically locate a backup folder or if you know where it is you can find it. Cm7 uses sdcard as primary storage, stock uses internal so it confuses titanium.
