I am running ViperXL and it was acting up a bit so I backed up my contacts using titanium backup and reinstalled the rom. I then tried to restore the backup and it will not restore. It claims it does but I have zero contacts in my phone. Because I value my time I really need to get the numbers and names out of the files that I have saved (the backups). Is there a way to view them that is understandable? I decompressed most of the files but it's just a jumbled mess.
Thanks for any help!

Hi, pretty newbie to use Titanium backup here. I did fully backup after i installed, so everything saved in the sd folder, no problem. then i copied the folder to the pc. for trying some new rom, i wiped everything, even partitioned sd after wiping. after flashing and other setup, i re-installed titanium backup. To restore everything, i copied the folder from pc to sd then(folder name exactly match the main page shows in titanium), but it seems titanium didnt "reconize" those backup files. I mean, for the option in the menu-->batch, the counts for "Verify all your backup", or "Restore all your backups" doesn't match what i used to have.
So what should I do now for restore? did i miss some settings? Thanks in advance for instruction.
nv mind, it seems i figured it out

So I recently did a backup with titanium backup, moved it to the desktop and i did a factory reset on my phone. After downloading titanium backup again and moving the backup back onto my phone and into the folder I opened up titanium the backup files werent being shown in the app. What am I doing wrong guys?
Scratch that I got it to work with a reinstall of the program.
Word. I'm glad it works that way, had a similar situation earlier
the latest versions support dropbox.
I move it all up there, and then pull it back after a reset.
I have used Titanium backup pro version on my Atrix 2 to backup everything before flashing to ICS. The option of system+apps was chosen. It generated tons of files under the directory /sdcard/Titanium backup, total of ~900M zip files. Do the backup files contain everything? Is it safe to delete everything on my sdcard except the Titanium folder? If I do restore with just that folder, would it get me back everything?
No, you shouldn't delete EVERYTHING. I am not sure exactly what TB keeps and what it disregards, but don't expect to contain data from apps that save to various folders on the SD card. For example, if you backup Polaris Office, it will not backup the document files that are saved in the Documents folder. Backing up the gallery does not backup pics, Music.apk doesn't back up mp3 files, etc. Text messages and call logs are not backed up automatically either.
Be careful what you decide to delete. My advice, move everything to a pc except the Titanium Backup folder, and restore from there. You will know what is backed up and what is not.
So I have a couple of whatsapp backups made in titanium backup.
The first one, the older one it was made before I reset my phone and wiped the whole system.
The second backup, was made after I installed the whatsapp application on the newly installed OS, you know how when you reactivate your whatsapp account you got all the messages that has been sent to your number from multiple contacts at once. These messages are a lot and from many contacts so I also backed them up.
The dilemma that I'm facing now, is that when I restore the first app data I lose the new backup and when I restore the second app data files I lose the chats and history from the first backup.
So is there any way to merge both backups and restore them at once.
Note, that when I added the files of the app data from both backups in the titanium backup folder and performed a restore, the application restored the recent backup and neglected the first.
Hello,
I am trying to figure out a way to restore a backup I have under my Google Drive "Backups" section. Specifically, it's an SMS backup I took and forgot to use the restore option during the initial setup of my phone. I do not want to factory reset my phone as I've done a lot of modifications to it such as flashing, rooting, etc. I tried an app called SMS Backup and Restore but that didn't work as I'm assuming it's only for new backups you take using their app.
If you know of a way I can retrieve the SMS messages from my Google Drive backup without having to do a factory reset, that would be great.
Thanks!
