hi!
I'm owning a HTC One S since a few days, rooted, and I'm wondering about the best way to back up my device.
Actually I'd like to know what is the most powerful (i.e. more complete) backup app/method: Titanium/Go Backup (or similar), nandroid, or this one: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/ultimate-backup-tool-no-root-required/ ?
If I wipe my cell, which method will allow me to restore it with same apps installed, same icons at the same place, same data and settings for each app (just like a Norton Ghost/Acronis TrueImage)? I think it's the nandroid backup, but I'm not an expert...
2nd question : if I loose this phone and I buy a new one (exact same), will I be able to restore my backup in the new one? Would it work?
3rd question : what about a non-rooted device (thinking to my wife's One V)? can I do a "Ghost" of her phone BEFORE I unlocked her phone's bootloader?
THANK YOU
kinda feel alone here...
anyway, I read more and here is what I understood: nandroid will backup everything like a Ghost, including the ROM. Titanium Backup will backup my apps and data, but not the widgets and homescreen, and Go Backup will backup apps/data/widgets/homescreen.
By saying "apps and data" does it mean "app settings" ?

Don't know about go, but you are correct on everything else. App data is settings saved stuff etc, it's everything about that app. If you restore an app with data it will be exactly as it was when the backup was made.
You do need root to backup using titanium, but I think there are ways to back up some stuff, using other methods, but I don't know them.

Most people seem to gravitate to titanium. I use the app manager in ROM toolbox pro.
OK, question two, yes. Backup the folder from your sd card to a PC. If you get a new phone just copy it to the new phones sd card install titanium (or whatever you used) and restore.
As for three I think you need to be unlocked to install a custom recovery so I don't think so.
Edit: nandroids (what you refer to as a ghost) are done through a custom recovery.

You can, just need to find the system setting for the launcher and backup the data. As long as your new rom uses that same launcher. For example cm uses trebuchet. Apex and Nova are two popular third party ones. Widgets aren't saved though, everything else is.
If you're not using a launcher like apex or Nova I highly recommend you try it. I can't imagine going back to the stock launcher. Plus you don't have to worry about what launcher the rom uses, just back up your third party one like any other app and install on your new rom. Then hit home, set it as default, simple.

I just flashed my first custom ROM...went from rooted GB to CM7.2.0...no problems...flashed the ROM, Gapps package, & padded modem (although I have no idea what a padded modem is). When I started to restore apps + data using Titanium Backup, the restore process locked up on Bluetooth Perm Test. Since I am inexperienced, I flashed back to GB. TB did a perfect restore, including putting my icons back where I had them. Anyone have any ideas why the restore locked up?
Thanks for any help...
Just back up user apps. Restoring system data between roms is a good way to bring in gremlins

OK...I see where "backup all user apps" is an option....but all the restore options include restoring data. I guess I could restore the user apps one at a time although that might be fairly time consuming. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the reply.
I think under batch actions when you choose to restore all backed up stuff it gives you the option to restore app+data, just app or just data. I think that as long as you're staying in gingerbread the user app data shouldn't cause any problems.
---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
If you've already gone back to stock wipe out all the backups and only backup user apps that way when you get back to cm7 the system stuff won't show up and mix things up
When restoring apps, only select the ones you want... those checks on the left aren't just decorations.

I do have the paid version...the 5 batch restore options are:
1. Restore missing apps with data
2. Restore all apps with data
3. Restore all system data
4. Restore missing apps + all system data (I know I'm not supposed to use this one)
5. Restore newer versions of user apps
There is also the option of creating an "update.zip" from app+data backups...I'm assuming that to restore, you would flash this like a ROM.
When I tried to restore the first time...and it locked up during "Bluetooth Perm Test"...I was using the #2 option..restore all apps with data.
There's also the filter options.
I've never had any luck restoring data across platforms, so, I just stopped...
Should have done option 1, which lets you pick which apps you want to restore.

I've been changing ROMs a lot lately to just try them out and everything and it's been a pain having to install Titanium Backup everytime then install all the other apps manually. Is it possible to add them to Titanium Backup so that I can just install them when flashing then get right to work restoring backups when the phone boots and I'm done with first time setup?

Its easy:
Make a nandroid backup via CWM or TWRP. When you have installed the new rom just install Titanium Backup und select "Extract from nandroid backup". All apps included in the backup will be shown up and you can select all apps you need and install them with one click.

Hi guys, I've googled & looked around various threads on here but cannot find a good match to my query so apologies if it has already been asked before!
Anyway, I have just upgraded to the Xperia Z3 from the original Z, I want to now back up and transfer everything over to the Z3 but not sure what is the best/easiest way to do this? I am not sure about Xperia Transfer app as that doesn't support transferring apps over unless it is an iphone, backup & restore from pc companion I am also confused on as I am not sure if that means you restore & backup on the SAME phone??
So what is the correct way? Many thanks for any help!

Download Helium from play store and on to a PC and follow the instructions. It should be able to backup most app's data ready to restore on to the z3.
Inevitably some apps will fail to backup but unless your Z is rooted I believe Helium is your best shot.
You can alternatively connect to the PC suite and transfer data. PC suite has a built in data transfer tool.
Thanks both for the advice, I used Xperia Transfer Desktop app in the end as the non desktop 1 wouldn't work and always got stuck on step 5! I am impressed that everything including my device calendar got sent over too which was another main thing I wanted! Now all that's left to transfer are apps - I remembered doing it somewhere where everything including data were moved but can't remember how. So may give helium a go as my original Z is rooted.
If you're rooted, best option is titanium backup (Z3 has to be rooted for that too)
Be careful restoring system apps though, because the system apps of the Z probably won't work correctly on the Z3

What!"!!
You have root... use TB to backup, then put the sd card in the new phone restore it on the new phone....
Or if you do not have a sd card, take a backup, move the backup folder to your PC, then to the internal storage of your new phone and restore it
I can help, quite easy
Make sure your backup folder from xperia z is (copied to) on your SD card (for ease of use)
Place SD card with backup in xperia Z3
Open titanium backup, go to menu>settings>location backup folder.
Now all you have to do is click scan and choose to scan everywhere. Once found click on the folder and click "use current folder"
Now restart titanium backup and your backups are found and restorable

Lol I never had to use titanium in the past because I somehow managed to move stuff like saved game data across with no problem - I just wish I could remember how I did it?!
Only ever used root to change fonts & now I can't even do that as the app I used doesn't work on Z3

Thank you for the guide
But have to admit I am still confused. I basically want to backup saved game data mostly, so how would I go about doing this? I have no idea where the saved games data would be so that's why I'm struggling to locate the correct files to do this
Do appreciate the help though!
If you restore from titanium backup you have the choice to restore only data or data and the app. You don't have to know where to find the files, if you have the list on titanium you can restore. Game data included
And the data would be in the folder: Titaniumbackup

Ok, please bare with me, like I said I do appreciate the patience & help! I gotta learn somewhere
So I already have the game installed on the Z3, so do I go on my Z and click 'backup'? (choose the game of course), once that's done, I put the sd card into the Z3, then how do I restore only the game data? It looks very alien to me haa.
Yes you just click backup, then copy it to your sd card (Titaniumbackup tends to backup on internal memory)
Put the SD in your z3, point titanium backup to the backup folder like i explained earlier, in the middle tab you click the backup of your game and then choose restore data only.
That's all there is to it.
Might sound a little difficult, but really is easy as 123

Your welcome if you enjoy the app make sure to buy the donation version to support the dev
Also that will enable batch backup and restore and more cool and useful functions (like the ability to sync with cloud storage which kinda makes you not needing an SD card for transferring )

Yes, definitely considering to buy, seems I can do so much more!
Btw, as you have been very helpful, you wouldn't perhaps know how to change fonts either do you? I have a vague idea but never tried it coz it got complicated to understand again lol.. & plus, know any way how to get the old styled walkman widget back? (I have a thread about it here & my many problems!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/walkman-widget-ugly-t3031514/post58868867
For the fonts I've never done it, but try fonts installer root from play store ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer)
Make sure to make a Nand backup first! (you do this from recovery)
---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
For the Walkman thingy, i really don't know... I don't use the widget either. I always just pull down my statusbar or navigate directly from lock screen (i know my songs, and also roughly know how far i am in the song )

I used to use ifont and that worked fine on my xperia z but on the z3 it just changes to italic! Anyhow I'll try look into it more, thanks for the help anyway! I have no idea what nand is either (does it just mean backup in recovery?) even if I did I wouldn't know how to restore/use lol, might stay away from anything for now in case I brick my phone!
And as for the walkman, it is driving me nuts lol..
Yes, Nand is backup in recovery, and can also easily be restored from recovery. Just take a look in recovery for 5 minutes and i think you can manage to do it yourself. It isn't difficult at all.
But as i said, the app i mentioned seems to work fine
I'll be honest, OnePluses Switch backup looks way too easy and nice.
.
Twrp always ( and still, right now ! ) confuses me as to which ones to include/exclude. Do I use system -or- system image. Do I use vendor -or- vendor image ? And twrp includes boot.
.
Anyone still using Titanium backup ? And it's nice trick of moving all the little app backups into one, convenient update zip.
.
Which one do you rely on and why ?
I may be in the minority, but i rarely do actual backups of my device. I mainly rely on Google backup just for my account info such as contacts and photos and i reinstall all my apps manually.
Because of certain work apks that require new provision codes, etc if you reinstall them , I tent to use TB for my needs as I can completely wipe my phone if needs be and reinstall without having to contact IT every time I do so.
I use titanium backup for user apps as backing up and restoring system apps sometimes causes issues
Some user apps don't restore properly either (i.e. Twitter and WhatsApp) so I manually redownload those from the Play Store.
I use an app called SMS Backup and Restore for texts and call log
And Nova backups for my homescreen layout
So is the OP's version of backup backing up everything like TiBu? I want to backup my phone before i root

Good question. I haven't noticed until you mentioned it, the "extra" backup options (system image, vendor image). I'd like to hear what those are, or what the difference is.
I can tell you that "boot" is boot.img, which is essentially the kernel. Contains some other things as well, I believe. But kernel is the biggy. It is essential in making the ROM/OS work, and you should definitely include it in the backup.

That's fine for user data and apps. But one of the most important features of TWRP is the ability to backup and restore the ROM/OS. If you are modding the phone, you should always be backup up the ROM; or alternately know how to restore the stock OS using the stock recovery images (fastboot restore).

Fastboot restore is my go to for fixing most problems i encounter. So while yes, it is still probably a good idea to have an actual backup, i haven't had any issue where a fastboot restore or msmtool restore didn't fix my issue. Obviously this isn't ideal for everyone, but for me its just easier to do a full wipe and start fresh.
I prefer Migrate for ROM switching, and Titanium Backup as a secondary/individual app restore solution. Nandroid in TWRP once every 3-4 weeks as a hail-mary.

Yeah, a full wipe is needed sometimes. I always try a dirty fix first over a clean wipe fix. I've been lucky with the dirty method so far with the OnePlus. ( twice now )

System image and vendor image are the full partions sector by sector (used and not used space)
System and vendor partitions are just the used space.
OP: I don't do full backups, always reinstall apps, get calendar and contacts from Google, WhatsApp own backup and for sms/calls I use sms backup (app from play store).

Either is fine really. Actually, I've been finding the stock recovery images and full OTA zips for OnePlus devices (I came from the 3T) so reliable and easy to use, that I've been backing up the ROM by TWRP less and less.

It's better because system image is signed so if you restore a normal system backup you can bootloop.
What i can advice is:
disable security code before do the backup;
disable all magisk modules before do the backup;
Use _image option for system and vendor;
Use always the same twrp to make and restore the backup.

Can I ask to confirm if migrate is fully functional and restores apps properly? I've tried this previously, albeit a different device, without success
OP's backup program is not bad but misses lots. I had to re-install about 10 apps due to crashing every time i try and open them. The settings were not saved, none of them! I also had to log back into every single app with name and PW.
I made a backup of the phone before i unlocked bootloader, put it on my computer, unlocked BL, put backup back on phone and restored. It shouldn't miss anything!

It restores Apps properly each time in my experience, but the data on just a few apps did not restore properly. The app is in Beta, so they are still working on it.
I recommend making a Titanium Backup or a TWRP backup as a *secondary* backup just in case something doesn't work with Migrate. But otherwise Migrate GUI and process is so simple, eventually it will be the best.
