What setting to restore JUST messages in titanium?

I have a full backup and If I select restore missing apps+system data I get FC after FC. If I just do restore all user apps and data all is fine. now the only thing I'm really missing is my sms/texts backups. Anybody know how to restore JUST those in titanium backup ? Our even just a forum and not a WIKI for TB ?
Thanks

Restoring your user apps plus data is fine but restoring system apps is never a good idea the only data I ever restore from the system is memo and bookmarks but ill give you a simple solution restore your user apps and data then if you want to use gosms to backup and restore your text messages I've been doing that for a long time
But if you must use titanium backup only backup the system data you need aka bookmarks memo and texts then just restore them
All you do to restore individual things is scroll through the list and tap on whatever u want then hit restore

to retrieve the sms you have to restore data for [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage and reboot your phone

Get sms backup and restore its much easier to manage them

[Q] Backing up App Settings

What is the easiest / best way to backup my app settings so I can restore them after I install a new rom. Google seems to take care of all my wifi settings, etc fine, and reinstalls all my apps from the google marketplace, but I have to manually log back into all of my apps, and re-setup all of my apps which is a pain.
I tried installing Titanium backup, but I'm not sure what to select to backup. I don't want to backup the apps since those reinstall automatically fine, I just want the settings for the apps backed app.
Any recommendations?

Titanium allows you to back up system data without backing up the apps. Just launch titanium, hit the menu button, select batch, and run backup all system data

Titanium backup can backup any app including its settings and restore just the settings or the whole app. As was stated above it can also backup settings only for system data.

yes ... but when you restore app + data ,you will feel so bad , specially when you have more than 100 apps ...

[Q] Backups and restore. Titanium and Nandroid.

I have few questions about backups:
Nandroid:
1) So when I restore from a nandroid backup what do I exactly restore. I restore the rom this means any .zip mods I installed are gone. Do I restore radio, kernel, firmware, hboot?
2) When I do nandroid backup what happens to applications and data?
Titanium
3) What exactly system data backup (batch) backups? If I want to backup my my settings and WI-fi pairings and sms and phone call history and maybe some other 2-3 little things. If I do system data backup I will backup these things but when I restore if my previous configurations had lots of bloatware would I get unwanted things on my new configuration and slow down my phone?
4) Backing all user apps backups only .apks it means it installs the applications again?
5)User apps+ data means it will reinstall the apps and include saves and settings and etc right?
6) I've heard when backing up apps it's better to skip data why?
Thank you!

1. If you restore a previous backup then your mods will be gone (if they were not in that backup). kernel & firmware restored; hboot & radio not.
2.They get backed up (but not the data from the SD Card - just internal memory).
3. What you select (in Batch you can select). You just delete bloatware using TB after restore.
4. Correct, for settings and data you need the APPS+DATA option
5. Right
6. To avoid any complication with newer/older firmware - I always restored with data, and had no issues.

Thank you!
I just didn't understand completly about nandroid backup and apps.
If I use my phone for 5 days and install 5 aps and do a backup then use it 6 more days and install 6 more aps. After I do a nandroid restore the 6 aps installed after backup are lost and from the 5 installed before backup the ones that are not on SD will be restored. Correct? And if this is correct the restored apps will be only apk or apk + data?

Function of the features in advance restore???

Hello, today, I restore my phone from a Nandroid backup for some reason and I decide to go for advance restore. However, there are lots of restore options that allow me to choose and even that I try them each to see what will restore, I am still not certain in regard to the role of each.
Here is my assumption and observation;
- restore data: restore all my apps data including homescreen layout and data of each app?
- restore boot: no idea (I though that it was the bootanimation, but it wasn't)
- restore system: restore system apps, everything in the root, all mods and system setting?
- restore cache: no idea
-restore sd-ext: restore my external sdcard (but I am restoring it from my ext sd, so what is the purpose of this?)
Please correct me and add more information. Thanks.

Android Backup data for multiple users

I'm looking for an elegant way to manage multiple user data for an app on a rooted android phone.
Titanium Backup offers one method but its clunky.
With TB I'd need to set up UserX on the app. Backup app+data - > Backup1
Then wipe data, set up UserY, Backup app + data - > Backup 2. etc
But then if Backup 1 is restored, more data added and then backed up again it makes Backup 3
Id thus need to keep track of which user corresponded with which backup.
Ideally I'd like a backup app that can associate backed up data with a given user, or even just the ability to label the backup file.
Any suggestions?
