Can anyone tell me if titanium backup also backups email accounts?
I thought it did but so far I didn't succeed in restoring my email accounts.
When it does: where do I have search to restore my accounts?

Not that I am aware of. Not to mention restoring those types of settings is not a good idea. It can cause issues as they are not handled the same from ROM to ROM and OS version to OS version.

I'm looking for more details about google online backup service.
I'm thinking about applications online backup.
Where do google backup my details?
I know that for calendar and contact it backups data on gmail account.
But where does it backup applications detail?
And also, can I backup some more details for example mail account setup? (I've many mail account set up and every time I reset my device I need to setup those again..)
May I suggest using Google to search for your answers?

Yes of course but since I already tried with many strings please be so nice to give me some links...
I'm going out on a limb here and I'm gonna say what may be the obvious answer:
It will backup your wifi and bluetooth connection settings, installed apps (purchased apps), wallpapers, and probably system preferences. It may very well do contacts, your user dictionary, email settings (as long as you're using the stock email app I would imagine).
This is all speculated from these two links:

Ok thank you. But I can't find how to "reset" the online backup data... what I want to understand is for example where to find details about installed apps and remove not more used ones.
Do you have any ideas?

I think you might be able to find it from your Google Dashboard.

so i want to switch to aosp rom from my stock rom so i was wondering should i only restore data and apps?
is there a problem with restoring system?
also my texts and contacts and stuff they would also be restored right?
Yes. Apps+data is ex: angry birds and your progress.
Say if you were to back up system data and restore it, like maps, carrier IQ, and others. There is no point because they might be outdated or they might have been taken out for a reason, and you just reinstalled them. Carrier IQ is the perfect example.
So a simple batch operation that is "back up all user apps+data" is all you need.
The only sys data that is worth it is "wifi access points" that's your recent wifi networks and passwords

Just reread it.
Yes just restore user apps + data.
Don't want you bloating up a ROM now.
No your texts won't be restored.
Your contacts will restore automatically, but only if they're synced with your Gmail.
So I would go on Gmail and see if all my contacts are there.

I'm in the process of upgrading to the ICS Superlite 4.2 - having some issues with restoring apps+data with TiBu.
What's the best way to go about it so that I can avoid FCs and compatibility issues, while also restoring my messages/settings etc.?
If you're coming from 2.3 then don't restore data. Not everything is compatible and some stuff makes things crash.

So it's best to just start fresh? Is there any way to 'reset' titanium pro so that when i upgrade again down the road it takes what i have installed now versus all of the older apps from 2.3?
Also, what's the best way to at least get my contacts back?

Sync your contacts with google (Gmail) in the future.
Restore all missing apps with data is the best way to get apps back and eliminate fc issues never restore system data from os to os even if its like 2.3.6 to.7 sometimes it can eff things up

agreed. ive nevee had a problem restoring app dat, but never backup and restore system apps, with or without data. I would also stay away from backing up account, wifi, bluetooth and other options available in tb unlessnu are just doing a wipe and reinstall with the exact same rom

I do have my contacts synced to gmail, however it shows all of the autofill emails and not just the contacts I have in my contact list.

i recommend in the contacts app doing a menu > export to sd. This will save a vcf file on your sd card that you can use to import using the next method after you flash. I personally find syncing my contacts with my gmail messy, so I use this method.
With super lite 4.2 you need to update both TiBu and the paid version from the market for it to work. A couple of us had that problem last night and someone found that was the problem. Restore app+data works beautifully afterwards

I think any TB version past 4.8.2 plays nice with ICS... just sayin
BE MORE CAREFUL PEOPLE
So I was perusing Google looking for info on a program by its filename and came across a interesting thing. Some people have complete TB backups synced to servers that are publically available and indexed on Google. I recommend anyone that uses said feature to double check their security.
With these backups anyone has full access to your data including
account details and passwords
contacts list
SMS
emails
really every piece of data on your data partition
some included the apk's which could mean inadvertant piracy server
One had a more complete phone backup including nandroid backups and a synced sdcard
Source?

I am the source of this info I found them by chance on Google.
What kind of servers do you refer to? Something like Dropbox or someone's own personal server? Please be more specific. Thanks.

I am getting a replacement phone today and I was just wondering if there was a good app that will back up all of my sms messages to my SD card? That way when the new phone comes I can just pop the card in and be on my way.
Doesn't TiBu do this?

Im not sure. I should also note that I am not by any means rooted at all
I've used mybackup pro for years when switching between roms and devices. Between that, titanium backup pro and backing up settings in apex it makes it pretty painless to switch.

Use SMS backup and restore
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I use TiBu and I know when I first started using it a couple years ago it didn't back up SMS. It indeed might now, but it's not part of my routine. I only use it for user installed apps and nothing system related as I've screwed up a install with bringing over system data from Eclair to Froyo one time...
Anyway, in the past I used the backup provided in Go Sms, but now they want you to backup and restore to their cloud servers, so I switched to SMS Backup and Restore from the Play store. One button backup...one button restore. Worked like a charm....
