Newb Help: Transfer / Backup apps & data

I am about to get a replacement Captivate from AT&T. What is the best way to transfer my apps, data and files to the new phone if both are stock firmware?
with thanks
Use back up apps like My Backup Root and of course Titanium Backup is a must have...then move all of that data off of your phone to your PC.
When you get your new phone transfer the data folders back to their original spot on the phone from your PC and install the same apps you backed up with from the market and start restoring.
Restore app data but not system data.
Is there anyway to do this without rooting?
The best/easiest way is to root.
It can be done w/o but more work involved and it takes longer (think manually reinstalling each backed up app one at a time from the market).
No root required - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
Wit that said, it's fairly easy to unroot or return to stock so it can be turned in to at&t.

Transfer info from my rooted Captivate to my Infuse?

I am getting the infuse on Tuesday when it comes in FedEx. Right now I have my Captivate rooted and I have used apps to backup my Captivate when installing or updateing Roms. The apps I have been using are ones that need to have my phone rooted. I am not sure if I want to root my infuse as soon as i get it. I am wondering what are some good apps that I can backup my data with on my Captivate and transfer it to my Infuse with out having to root my Infuse?
Or is there not a way to save all my game saved data?
I personally use Mybackup root but Titanium backup is a good one too..
Unfortunately, I think root is going to be a prerequisite for you to be able to restore your previous apps. TitaniumBackup is an excellent choice. Just remember to only restore apps, never system data; and to also only restore apps that are missing rather than just batch restoring everything that you have backed up.
Rooting from my experience does nothing but open doors for you though. So, it won't hurt to give it a go. =)
Rooting and titanium backup is the easiest.... I came from a captivate too and have all my apps and data from it on my Infuse now.

Ok so I will have to root to be a backup to save all the info. One click will work on this phone like my captivate correct?
Its funny but I'm in the same circumstance u are, my infuse should show up tomorrow. Personally my favorite app for baking up/restoring apps is titanium backup. For text my backup pro.
(my backup pro is slower with apps, & I tend to have problems with titanium correctly backing up text /call logs.
I plan on rooting my infuse, flashing a rom. Then installing them manually just because I want to start fresh.
But in the future I'll use the titanium/my backup mix again.

Yes, but you MUST have the Infuse drivers installed for it to work!

[Q] How to backup without root?

I want to root my Nexus S, but guides tell me that it'll wipe everything on it. What do I do to prepare for this? Most backups require root so is there a way I can keep my apps or like an image of them without losing them after unlocking the bootloader?
I think it is impossible to backup everything without root.
Try "App backup and restore "(in play store) . And go backup for messages, call logs and stuff.
life!

Best way to backup-recover apps/data to unrooted phones coming from root...

I always root and mod my phones and have used Titanium Backup Pro religiously for years now but I do work on other people's phones a lot and curious what some of you use or think is the "best" or "easiest" solution for people who aren't rooted and want to recover or move over saved apps and data?
My cousin got a galaxy alpha, coming from a S4 and the S4 was rooted and modded (I did for him) and had been using TB as well but much to my dismay he doesn't want to root (at least yet) his new phone in fear of the damn Knox warranty voiding trip counter (he didn't care about same thing on last phone though?)
So would just like to know what is your easiest recommendation to (similarily) get the ton of apps he has saved via TB (and their customized data/settings) etc onto the new device? (Well knowing that one can't specifically use TB to do this process anymore on the new unrooted phone). I know of a couple work-a-rounds but not necessarily the best..so curious.
Thanks
Ps..I DO KNOW that he or I can't specifically restore the Titanium Backup files to a non root device but looking for the best similar option...the old phone is still here and loaded with everything needed...so installing something else and doing new app/data backup to SD or cloud etc IS the option being requested.

Root - restore backups - remove root
You can restore apps which didn't require root, that should be enough if you don't want to root now.
It would help to know what exactly you aren't able to restore without root that doesn't require root already. My thought is: if he doesn't want root now, he wouldn't want to restore something that requires root.
Well the root and unroot is not an option..as for the apps..most are regular apps..it's not the apps or the root access apps that's the issue, it's mainly the easy transfer of all the (many many apps) data to the phone..the built in Google backup and restore has failed me a few times in the past..

The definitive app data backup solution for Android Marshmallow

Hello to everyone,
In the past years I always rooted my phone to have a complete backup solution on my phones (Titanium Backup).
When I bought my last phone (Galaxy S6) I decided for the first time to try something different without rooting my phone in order to keep my warranty, automatic OTA updates, and other advantages like Samsung Pay.
The decision wasn't too bad because with PlayGames, manual OneDrive sync of some key backup directories trought FolderSync and especially thanks to Carbon Backup which works in fact more or less like Titanium Backup but without root, I keeped all my app's and games data saved...
But now there is a new problem...
Carbon isn't working with Marshmallow and PlayGames doesn't backup data of a significant number of games. The new backup solution of Android 6.0 seems very nice but if I unterstood right it works only with apps (only few are supported now) and not with games which is the biggest problem for me.
Is it possibile that in 2016 we can't get a complete and working backup solution to restore all data of our apps and games on Android?
Thanks,
As you said, this backup feature of MM only works for a small amount of apps because only a few are updated to/support this feature.
What do you mean by carbon isn't working with MM?
Till now there is no way to make a complete backup of every app without root (correct me if I'm wrong).

With Helium Backup (Carbon) on Android Lollipop it is possible to backup app and games data without root.
