I want to give the Mahdi rom a try, and I have my apps all backed up via titanium backup, but how do I get all my google and corporate email accounts to move over? Or do I just have to set each one up again.
Only restore user app data. All system data will need to be manually configured

Indeed. I would strongly advise against backing up and restoring of system app data, you'll just have to go through the setup again.

Isn't there an "accounts" backup in Titanium Backup?

When I restore my apps with titanium backup how do I get market to recognize them as installed so I can get automatic app updates?

hmmm, i think it does automagically. I have restored my apps 2-3 times and I did not have to do anything special.

Rather than making a new thread I'll post in here.
I was flashing some roms and backed up my apps at the wrong time in turn losing a lot of saved points in games and app settings. Can I just go back into one of my recent nandroid backups and copy the titanium backup files somewhere to replace the ones I don't want in my current rom? If so which ones?
The files your after are in the Titanium backup folder.

Lol this is obvious but which files do I need? There are several options in the nandroid folder like system, recovery, cache etc but their all img files? Again, I only have the files in my nandroid backup. My Titanium is setup to replace old files when a new backup is performed..
Thanks for any help in advance..

TB saves its stuff on the SD card, which is untouched by the usual Data/Cache/Dalvik wipes for a new ROM. Your most recent backups should be present no matter what.

OK lemme give some more info to help. I just got finished flashing my GB rom to replace my FR with all my settings widgets etc.. Once I had all the apps re-downloaded and thought I was ready to use titanium backup to restore all of my app data I accidentally did a backup instead, in turn REPLACING all of my original settings, saved games etc with just new games and all default bs..
So now, my ONLY option is to restore a backup I had previously when all my settings and games were where I liked them and then do another titanium backup to replace the new stuff. THEN, I have to restore my current GB nandroid to get back to my current ROM and then use titanium to restore my old stuff. The issue is finding which part of the titanium file I need from my Froyo backup to replace my GB backup.. Does that make sense lol?
I think I may figure it out but its trial and error.. I'll report back when and if I get it, just kinda sucks trying to do all this with root explorer and flashing everything over and over while at work..
If I'm doing this wrong please tell me but I am not seeing the easy way out in all of this..
You've got it right, do it just like that. Backing up / restoring Nandroids doesn't affect the SD card, but if you're paranoid you can unmount it. Restore nandroid, backup with TB, restore other nandroid, restore TB.

Titanium back up saves your apps and data so when u restore it it restores both app and data so u will be fine. Won't need to start over.

Use Gosms backup and restore. then back that up by TB.
thanks, but without having to install another app
im running an ICS rom on my G2x if that helps. is that the data i backup with TB (Phone/Messaging Storage)?
anyone??

It is best to use a separate app for that. If you backup a system app with TB and change to a different rom it may not be compatible and could cause problems.
well thats true, but i guess what im really asking is does that app or whatever it is that TB sees and calls Phone/Messaging Storage contain my text messages?
i will probably install some other SMS app that backs up or backs up to gmail just in case
I never backup my apps. But i back up sms with sms backup+
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
yeah sms backup+ is good, i installed that, but i was right, Phone/Messaging Store is where your text messages are kept, backing that up with TB works as well
So, I have a couple of questions about titanium backup. 1. Does your backup data store to the cloud? If not, where? 2. Let's say I make a backup of app data, then I change to a new ROM. If I try and restore my phone with the backup I made on the old ROM, will that brick my dad device? 3. Does Tibu backup more than app data? If so, can it cross over ROMS? sorry if these are noobish questions.

Forget I said dad. Not sure where that came from.

1. By default it saves to the SD card. If you buy the paid version you can have it additionally sync to the cloud (Dropbox, Box, or Drive).
2. If you restore only user apps (apps you downloaded from the market) and not system apps (ROM specific apps) you shouldn't have any problems across ROMs.
3. It CAN backup system apps if you wish, but restoring them on a different ROM is not recommended.
Is it safe to restore app data to apps that sync their data with their severs using TiBu? Will it cause any issues with syncing later on?

You could use Titanium Backup and sync it with your Dropbox

Thank you but what I'm asking is will restoring app data to an app that syncs with the developer's server mess it up?
