How to make a backup can easily be found in the stickies found in the general forums. Use your recovery that you use to flash the custom rom to make the backup.
And no you cannot restore a backup of a s2 onto an s3, maybe the data, but definitely not the system or boot. You'll have a brick if you do

thx
First off, do you understand what searching is?? Second, back up with recovery or use titanium backup if you wanna backup your apps then move that file to your s3 to restore the apps. Third, why the hell would you get an s3 when the s4 is being released in about 2 weeks.

He's right about searching, there are stickies in both the general and q&a section that answer these questions.
No u can't migrate a skyrocket backup to an s3, you'd brick it. U can however use titanium backup or ROM toolbox, back up your apps to an external SD and restore them on the nre phone from the SD.
S4 IS NOT being released in 2 weeks, its being UNVEILED in two weeks in New York. Distribution to carriers will probably be a bit longer

This is making me nuts!!! I keep reading references to clockwork mod. Where the heck does one find that file? I assume it's phone specific!? I know it's part of Rom Manager but I'd rather avoid that program. When do you flash with CWM vs flash with Odin?
Thanks all

Welcome to xda buddy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24085665 that's the Touch CWM thread you have to use this version to install the IcS roms for the SGH-I727 (skyrocket) or T-989 (Hercules on tmobile)
Also you Odin when you're going back to stock or adding a new recovery. Most everything else can go thru CWM. The threads will lay out specifically which to use and when to use it
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19262010 is the basic Odin thread. Read and learn my friend.

Thanks for that, But I have the Rogers version (i727R) and I don't think I can use the touch version! But I maybe out to lunch on that.
I give that link a good read anyway!
Stew
Thanks again Androidsc. I read the thread and there were some fellow Canucks reporting good results with their sgh-i727R and the CWM touch!!
next step
OK! I now have CWM touch in the phone. Going to try the lastest Sky Rom. Don't know what's in the zip file but should I do a rom B/U first and a Titanium B/U too before theis next big step?

I'm not sure about sky ics on Rodgers either but ask Sean he can tell you. But to answer your question about backing up yes always make a nanadroid backup of your current working rom before flashing anything. As far as titanium backup that's your personal choice I do backup my apps and data with titanium backup and restore them from there and never had no problem but again I'm not on Rodgers and no nothing of how Rodgers works but Sean the dev of sky ics could probably answer all that for you to...

Is there any problem with frequent flashing of roms?
I mean,does switching from one rom to another every week or in a weekly manner cause any damage to the phone ?

since it's noob questions about roms i have a couple of doubts that's been stopping me from trying Creed 3.3
after flashing the new rom i have to reinstall and reconfigure all the apps right?
do i have to manually remove the one installed on the sd card?
can i create a backup image to restore the phone as it is now?
thanks in advance if someone will answer these silly questions

Yes you should backup all your apps before a new rom. For that you should use titanium backup application(keep the apk file of it app in ur sd card). Backup all your apps using the batch backup option in the app. Then after installing new rom just install titanium backup app and restore all your apps. And about contacts,copy all your contacts to sim.
nice thanks!
didn't know i could restore the apps on a different rom
now i'll try to find a way to do a complete backup of gingerbread to restore in case i want to revert to the original rom
You can backup entire gb stock rom, as an "image", using pratyush's modded version of cwm5...

My infuse is running ICS CM9 5/27/2012 build and it's just the way I like it. Then, performing a Rom Manager Backup Current ROM soft bricked my phone and it is confirmed here that this is a known issue. I was freaked out for a while but managed to Heimdall One-Click-Unbrick to get back to download mode so I could flash to stock GB, root, and install red CWM and then flash to ICS CM9.
So now I am kinda worried that running a CWM Nandroid Backup may also brick my phone after reading this. I know this is referencing a different phone but it is using ICS and CM9. So I could use some advice or guidance here. With ICS CM9 on my iNfuse, is there any risk to bricking my phone doing a nandroid backup?

We have a completely different storage architecture than the E4GT. No eMMC chip, no Superbrick bug.
Edit: Also, on affected devices, at this point nearly all source-based kernels are safe. E4GT is one of the few devices still on leak repacks with CM9.
Thanks for the replies. I was able to perform the CWM backup with no issues. Haven't tried a restore yet but I will at some point...

You have to go back to rooted stock first. Then after first reboot you can flash the old back up.

Partitions are different and that is why you need to go back to stock. Odin and Heimdall reformat the partition. Then as Truckerglenn said, reboot and then you should be able to use the backup.

Use Titanium Backup
i USe Go Backup Pro. U can Go a Backup direct to ur Dropbox... Very nice.
Personally I use MyBackup Root. It's free and if you're rooted (you are if you're flashing ROMs) it works perfect to backup / restore apps and app data.
i use titanium backup too..
but, wht abt nandroid backup?

Nandroid you just do thru recovery, either TWRP or CWM etc

One thing to keep in mind., backing up the apps will not work when going from 4.1.2 to say 4.3 or 4.3 to 4.4. It will be messy. You would be better off installing from play store or Gapps for that version. Should work fine if the rom is the same base version though. Good luck.

I have not found this to be true.
I restored apps from my Nexus 4 (with data) from 4.3 to my Nexus 5 on 4.4 and everything came out fine.
Using Titanium Backup or MyBackup it basically installs the market APK same as if you installed it from the market.
Gapps yeah you need the right version.
I'm on 4.4 rom and going to a 4.4 rom I just have alot of apps I like and such. I would like them to stay I stalled.

I use Titanium Backup. And i think it's the best way to backupyou device.
I even use backups that i generated with my HTC Desire on my new SGS 3 over the boundaries of a new ROM.

I am agree with majority answers…
Titanium backup pro is best app for backup (with data)
Twrp is better than cwmr in terms of functionality and nandroid backup size
If you like to backup only application (no data) you should go with myapp sharer application.
