Paver Android Backup Toolkit, is a simple universal backup and restore software which works with all android devices. It has been designed with a simple user interface that talks to you while performing its work. It backups and restores all the applications installed, their user data, contacts, calendar, in just a single click with no hassle.
This toolkit has been designed to work in a different and unique way. Whenever you backup your applications with a third party app installed on your device, you have to-
---Backup and restore each file, one at a time.
---If accidentally your device is restored to factory settings, even the backup that you made will be gone.
You will be rendered helpless.
Use this easy toolkit to backup and restore your data.
You need to have
adb drivers installed
Paver Android Toolkit (Download from this page)
Unzip “Paver Android Backup Toolkit.zip” on the desktop.
(to unzip, right click on the folder and click unzip)
copy the unzipped folder and paste it in C drive (as C:\Paver Android Backup Toolkit)

seems nice .. it may also make the attempt: v

Hello. Currently, I am using RCMix S 2.7 and i thinking this is most stable and great rom for Desire S. I setup my mobile(applications, widgets, settings). However I would like to test new roms. How I can backup my customized software? I did backup in ClockworkMod Recovery and size of my software is 1.05Gb. Is this enough? How to make restore? Do i need to choose only restore or format something first?
Use Google sync for your Contacts and Calendar items (HTC Sync + M$ Outlook is also a good combination but you can use it only on Sense ROMs)
Download and install free Titanium Backup from the Market to backup your applications and settings (you can backup even your homescreen arrangement (all shortcuts and widgets) and restore them in one click. The backup itself is not taking too much space. My advice is when switching to ROM with different Sense/Kernel/Android version do not restore setting, it can mess up your new installation, restore just the apps and take the time to configure everything again.
I also test new roms all the time. My technique of back up is this.
1. contacs = back up using google. sync with your google account.
2. sms = i use 'kAmMa's BackupSMS'
3. Application = I only backup downloaded apps using Astro file manager.
For me titanium back up is a bit complicated.
to restore i always do this order
first use the filemanager in the rom - browse to backup folder and install astro file manager.
than use astro file manager and install all the other application that you back up
than setup google account and your contact will be downloaded automatically from internet.
than restore sms using the kamma's backupsms.
its done. I spend about 30 minutes for this. This is my way of doing things. If you like you can follow this way.

How To: Backup or Restore via Nandroid
Nandroid allows you to create a complete system image of your device and stores it to the SD Card on your phone. Making one is very simple but there are a few prerequisites.
1. A rooted Android phone
2. A custom recovery that supports Nandroid (ie: Amon_RA, ClockworkMod, Etc.)
3. A MicroSD card that has enough space for a system image.
A complete image can range from 75-400 MB.
Please follow this link for instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...r_via_Nandroid
Ok, I got your point. You want to preserve you current ROM in the way it is now in case that you would like to go back to it.
In this case before restoration you have to follow the same steps like in installation of a new ROM:
Wipe all (system, data, cache)
Restore
Thanks a lot!

If you just want to simply restore one of your previously taken Nandoird backups then there is no need to wipe anything in advance as the restore will overwrite all partitions.
While saying that every time that I've performed a restore for safety's sake I always then wipe cache and dalvik cache before booting the restored ROM.
So I just got an HTC One, and I'm trying to restore some of my app data (mostly save games... note I do NOT want a full backup that's why I used Helium because I heard it can backup specific apps only) from my old Nexus 4. Since I didn't pay for Helium Premium, I just copied the carbon folder (I assume that is where it's storing the backups) from my Nexus 4 and transferred it to the PC. I then plugged my HTC One and copied the carbon folder in the root of the Internal Storage.
However, when I click "Restore" on Helium on my HTC One, it says it cannot detect any backup files. I also tried manually copying the files from carbon to the data folder and overwrote the files there, but when I start the game it still sends me to the beginning as if I started from scratch. Should I put the carbon folder elsewhere or something? I really need help because I do not want to start these games from the beginning again
Same issue here, except I use a Nexus 7 and only this Nexus 7. Used Helium to make a backup of some apps, stored the folder on my PC. Completely reset the Nexus 7 and transferred back the folder but Helium doesn't see the carbon folder with backup apps in it. If I backup a new app it does place the backup in that specific folder...
Helium restore issues
I had the same issue as you both. I fixed it the hard way. I had to download and install each app that I wanted to restore (from Play store). I started each app (so that Helium would see them) without any configuration. Then I did another backup of all the apps I wanted. I then copied all of the .ab files from the original backup to the new backup folders. Restore... voila!

This is probably the most fool-proof solution. I do have a question about text messages, though. Everything else seemed to work (thanks for this solution, definitely helpful to at least confirm data). Anyways - the one thing I can't seem to figure out is how to restore text messages (com.android.providers.telephony.ab) - I've tried to do it as a whole app using the PC interface, tried copying the folder as a replacement via Android File Transfer to the 'carbon' folder, etc.
When I try to restore via helium server, it quickly shows me everything as restored but I don't see the messages. When I try to do it manually (e.g. force copy), I don't see an option under "Restore and Sync" to actually select messaging.
Am I missing something stupid / obvious? The raw data seems to be there (for example, call logs were uploaded just fine, text messages seem to have an issue).
--Dan
So I came up with a solution based on what works for others. Why this works when it didn't previously is beyond me, but hopefully someone else can use it if individual parts of their Helium backup don't work properly (in theory it should work for any app / SQL dataset). The whole point of Helium is that we're running non-rooted phones and so Titanium Backup or the like aren't applicable. For reference, I'm running an N4 to OSX 10.7.x
1. Use the Helium Server to create a full backup.
2. Wipe phone or whatever you need to do (I had to do a factory reset for Google since it's an N4 and my proximity sensor is dead).
3. Install the apps you had previously via Play Store (pain in the a**).
4. Run Helium server and upload the backup data.
5. Update apps as needed (should be auto but who knows for individual stuff).
6. Check app data in apps. Texts are obviously easy to see for me. Hopefully everything restored nicely for you here.
***Now for the bit for people who got corrupted restores.
7. Unzip the backup file on your computer, select the .ab files that correspond to the missing / corrupted restores and then zip those into a new file on your computer (for step 9). Keep these files handy in unzipped form as well for step 10.
8. Perform a new Helium backup of those sections onto the internal SD card (yes it will be blank, worry not).
9. (Optional step): Run Helium server and upload that new zip file (with the stuff that didn't make it) alone. Try restore. Unlikely to work but worth a shot.
10. Running Android File Transfer, find the SD card, find the folder 'carbon' and then find the corresponding sub-folders that have the modules that were corrupted. Replace the SD card backups of the broken modules with the good ones from your computer.
11. Run Helium restore again, but only for the sections you want (I swear, for me Messaging didn't show up the first few times but after step 10 it did).
12. Wait, hoepfully it works well. I would reboot after running the restore to a) kill Helium and b) confirm functionality.
FWIW, my telephony.ab was 1.8MB and took SIX hours to restore. Seriously. Yeah yeah, that's a lot of texts but six hours? I've since added "SMS Backup & Restore" to my phone and will probably just use that, map out my phone layout and functionality and just manually replace apps from now on since most data is in the cloud. You lose some stuff, but prima facie it's boat tons easier.
Hopefully that helps someone else who had the same issues.
Best,

I know super old thread - Just wanted to thank you for the above. Before migrating to a new Nvidia Shield I used Helium to backup to my Mac - however when I tried to restore onto the new device it kept saying "Invalid backup file" (Any idea why?) Anyway, you're approach saved me! Yea bit of pain to download all the apps again first, but at least this above worked, so thanks!
Hardware required:
Windows PC, non-rooted Android v. 4 tablet, USB memory. Smartphone is not even required!
Apps required:
PC: Bluestacks, Oracle Virtual Box+Appliance "androVM_vbox86tp_4.1.1_r6.1-20130222-gapps-houdini-flash.ova",
Android tablet: Whatsapp, Titanium Backup, Helium (Carbon) App Backup+its Windows Desktop app, file management app(recommend Root Explorer), GoContacts EX v2.06
Limitations:
-Whatsapp does not support Android tablet
-Titanium Backup works only on ROOTED device
-Helium App Backup works on NON-ROOTED device but ANDROID v.4, use with Windows PC is mandatory for non-root
HOW:
1.1 Install Bluestacks (built on Smartphone Android v2.xxx, rooted) on PC. Install Whatapp, provide a mobile phone number to receive SMS for the 6 digits verification code; land line number works as well, but instead, to click "Call me" button to receive voice call giving the code.
1.2. Install Titanium Backup. Backup whatsapp. Use Root Explorer, copy the 3 backup files (com.whatsapp-........) in "Titanium" folder, paste them to mnt/sdcard/bstfolder. Then, they will be located on PC, under C:\ProgramData\Bluestacks\UserData\SharedFolder. Copy them to USB.
*Helium works for Android v.4, so cannot substitute Titanium in this step.
2.1 Install Oracle Virtual Box on PC, import appliance "androVM_vbox86tp_4.1.1_r6.1-20130222-gapps-houdini-flash.ova" downloaded from androvm.org/blog/download. Plug above USB to PC, go to Virtual Box settings and enable this USB. Start the appliance, Andriod 4.1.1 will be running. Install Titanium Backup, restore Whatapp from the USB (copy the 3 files and paste them to Titanium Backup folder)
2.2. Install Helium (Carbon) AppBackup, make sure uncheck backup data only, backup app+data of Whatsapp. A folder named "com.whatapps" will be created under "Carbon" folder. com.whatapps should contains 2 files of ab & .json, if missing any, the backup is not complete.
3.1. Install Helium (Carbon) AppBackup on Android tablet. Follow the guide to enable backup app for non-root device. (install its Windows desktop, allow USB debugging, PTP mode, etc). Connect Android tablet to PC. Copy the above folder "com.whatapps" and paste it to "Carbon" folder in the tablet. Restore Whatsapp with Helium, good to go!
3.2. recommend install GoContacts EX v2.06 to manage contacts for Whatsapp
Guarantee this work like a charm!
(methods using appguard, GoContacts EX only,...do not)
Wow. Seems rather a long process. Would this work by just doing a helium backup from a phone and a helium restore in the tablet?

AMoosa,
If the smartphone is running Android v.4 and whatsapp; Helium backup phone, restore in the tablet should work.
The process is long, I agree. But, it make whatsapp run on tablet without technically modifying any device (e.g. rooting). It can also let run whatsapp without SIM (e.g. an extra whatsapp account)
Thanks worked like charm

With rooted phone, worked like a charm. Backup app and data, copy the folder carbon to the VM, then restore by Helium.
[Tutorial] Back-Up & Restore from a Android Device - Unrooted & Rooted Methods
How to backup & restore all your
data, contacts etc..... on your
Android device running a Non-
Rooted STOCK ROM
*******************************
************
MyBackup
MyBackup works as a perfect
backup & restore utility for Non-
Rooted (as well as ROOTED)
devices running the Android
OS......
The app can be downloaded from
Play Store here : https://
play.google.com/store/apps/
details?id=com.rerware.android.
MyBackup&feature=search_result
(FREE VERSION)
Once installed open the
application and tap the Backup
button, an option will pop up
asking wether you want to backup
your apps or data.....
When you backup your apps via
MyBackup, you will be presented
with an option of either selecting
certain apps you want backed up
or all your apps......
With backing up your DATA you
backup either straght to your
SDCard or to a Online server, for
later restoring..... same with the
app menu you can choose what to
backup or backup the your entire
data on the ROM, when backup is
complete it will create a ZIP file
on you SDCard.......
You can also have a backup
scheduled for a certain time ,
which is a great feature to have
especially if you forget to backup
sometimes.........
To Restore you can simply tap on
the RESTORE button and restore
what you want........
*******************************
************
Manual Drag and Drop
Drag & dropping files from your
Android device whilst connected
to the PC is a easy & fuss free way
of backing up data, contacts,
images and other SD Card data.....
Take a few minutes of your time
to save yourself the heartache if
something unfortunate happens to
your Android device.
******************************
How to backup & restore all your
data, contacts etc..... on your
Android device running a Custom
ROM with Custom Recovery MENU
or Backup Software
Nandroid backup
For ROOTED Users, you will
obviously have a Custom Recovery
installed with your ROM..... As
with most Nandroid recovery
systems you can backup & restore
all data right from this menu.......
There are many custom recoveries
available the most common one
being the ClockworkMod Recovery, Just boot into
the recovery console, tap on the
backup/restore tag, usually
through the menu Backup and
restore > Backup or restore...
To Restore follow the same
method as backup option, boot
into Recovery Mode and select
Backup and restore > Restore.
*******************************
************
Titanium Backup
Another option for rooted Android
users is Titanium Backup.
Titanium Backup gives you direct
access to your system. If you have
not used this program before
make sure to read all release notes
and methods of using the program
as mistakes can be made....
Once you’ve launched the app,
click on the Backup/Restore tab
and click the Menu button on your
phone. From the menu that
appears, select Batch. At the next
menu, click [RUN] Backup all user
apps + system data. You can
choose to backup just your user
apps and system data but you can
choose a complete and total
backup of your phone.
Depending on how much of your
phone you’ve chosen to back up,
the initial backing up process can
take anywhere from a few minutes
to half an hour or even more. Just
like a Nandroid backup, you can
opt to copy the backup file to your
computer. Navigate to the /
Titanium Backup directory on your
device’s SD card and you can find
your backup there, ready for
safekeeping.
When you’d like to restore your
backup, you can enjoy the same
Batch function. Select Menu >
Batch. On the Backup/Restore
menu, scroll down to find restore
options.

Hello everyone, I would like to restore often doing some apk in the rom that I have already installed, so if I do a factory data reset I find myself these integrated programs in the rom. I tried using Titanium Backup to create me an update zip but even if I flashed to restore the programs disappear. I remembered that you could do with titanium .... my questions are 2
1. if you can do it with titanium shown me step by step how to do?
2. there is a program to do these zip to flash that remain on forever?
thanks 1000
I don't know how to do that with Titanium Backup because i do not use it.
But you can make a flashable zip file of the (fresh flashed) firmware with cwm and integrate the apk's you want afterwards into the zip.
Maybe this gives you an idea.

Not tried on my Moto G (not really had the desire or need to deviate from stock), but on my rooted Tablet I use Titanium to
1 ) Integrate System App updates (e.g. Maps, Playstore etc) into the System partition - via the Batch Actions menu, under Move/Integrate.
2 ) Convert User Apps to System Apps - if you long press on the app on the app listing screen it shows a pop up menu - the last choice is 'Convert to system app'.
On my old phone I used RootExplorer and copied the file into the system and set the permissions. It might need a reboot after too. I didn't used it with updated apps but I prefer to keep things stock in that way.
