So I recently have a custom ROM for my phone and it came with Online Nandroid Backup, I was wondering if it's safe to uninstall this since I prefer to use ROM Manager to do a full ROM/OS/whatever you want to call it backup.

instead of uninstalling you may find it better to freeze the app in titanium backup which will stop the app running and hide it from the system. This way if in the future you do find yourself wanting this app you can just unfreeze it and get it straight back, here is a guide on how to do this

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched and could'nt find anything. Couple questions;
1. After I do a backup with Titanium Backup, and I plan to use another ROM, do I delete what Titanium Backup has already created? I ask because I didn't know if it overwrites files or just adds to them. I don't want my memory filled with Backup files if I decide to change my ROM ever so often.
2. Does Titanium Backup, backup SMS and call logs? I downloaded My Backup from the Market cause I wasn't sure. So whenever I switch ROM's, I just run Titanium and My Backup. Is it necessary to have both?
Thanks for any responses...
EDIT....I sort of found the answer to question 2....about it backing up SMS/MMS...but what about the call log?

1. Backup User apps only. Keep them, when you update your ROM.. batch restore it. Just make sure you didnt backup system because it could cause FCs.
2. No it doesn't, there are alternatives on the market that does backup your SMS. I don't know any since i use Google Voice and all my SMS are sync'd on cloud.
And no it isn't.. if you're using Titanium Backup, I suggest you have the Pro version otherwise it'll be a huge hassle.

Ok, so you're saying that if I already have a Titanium Backup of user apps....when I back up again, it'll just overwrite the current ones?

Yes. And if you want to load the backups, you restore the apps.
Hi
Is it possible to use Titanium backup to do a total full backup?
So I can wipe it all, experiment with other roms, then if I decide to go back to the current one (Android Revolution HD), I just run super wipe, run the rom, then the no-sense, then run the backup with titanium backup, and will it be as it is now? All my apps still installed, all my apps arranged into folders in the app drawer and all my messages and all that?
Thanks.

its easier with cwm because you would`nt have to flash the rom again and install titanium backup again cwm will put everything back the way it was
Sounds like a nandroid backup is what you really want to do. You can do that in recovery under backup/restore. It will take an entire image of your current ROM. Then you can experiment with other ROMs and go back to the backup you made and everything will be exactly as you left it. Backing up and restoring system data in Titanium Backup is not really a good idea between ROMs. Use it mainly for backing up user apps/data.
I booted into CM7 and did a backup there, the backup is like 871mb, does that include apps and everything I want backing up?
What about backing up text messages and home screen configs? I have ran restores on titanium before and seem to only sometimes get this restored. I flashed a rom 2 days ago and just today randomly, my text messages came back... weird...
Titanium backup is ****ty. Used it once to back up and restore my apps, but during restore it screwed up app data and half my restored apps were force closing when I tried to run them. I would find something else if I were you

not CM7 - its CWM
Anyway, a nandroid is what you are referring to and as it seems what you have done.
My last nandroid was over 1.2 GB
Experiment all you like now with various ROMs.You have your security net of a known working backup..(if the **** hits the fan)
I just finished restoring my Samsung Galaxy SIII after jumping into the latest Verizon OTA without checking it out first. (Mistake!)
I like what I have now, but would like to see if a custom ROM might be a little less loaded with Samsung and Verizon bloat. I am not interested in tons of more tweaking options, just good wireless reception, and UI quickness. I do NOT want to repeat reinstalling all my apps from scratch, and setting them up again. I am rooted, unlocked, have TWRP, Odin, Titanium Backup Pro,Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. Can someone help make the transition into a new ROM as pain free, and easy as possible. Once again, I'm not asking about how to flash the ROM as much as I am asking about getting up and running after flashing. Thanks for your time and help.

Dear tgrobi one has to restore only data not the app as the app might clash with the contact app of one's new rom so what is advisable is to only restore data also titanium will give a warning message that restoring the app will not work properly and eventually result in a FC
It happened with me.....:crying:
U must do a backup first using titanium backup.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
You have to download app saver in the market. And backup your app. App saver make your app become .apk. Then just backup your .apk to your sd cars.
Hopefully it helpa you

^^^This.
I have titanium backups and mess around flashing numerous roms.
Apps and their settings can easily be restored by making backups with titanium and restoring apps and data.
You can also save your contact list with it but if you have a google account and sync enabled your phone will restore contacts from your google account.
Is the Titanium Backup still a good advice now, after 8 years since this thread was started? I'm going to migrate my Moto G "falcon" from 4.4 to 7.1. I do have a paid version of Titanium Backup. Thank you!
Hi, looking at the recovery menu I can see an option named restore from backup, now the question is ..... How can I make a backup of my unit? I use to try ROMs and want a easy way to got back in case of emergency
Thanks !
Most use Titanium Backup which can backup and restore apps, and some of the apps config/data.
It is still a somewhat tedius process, so those of us with experience don't rush to try every ROM, but it is much faster than having to install and download the apps from the appstore, and having to remember what you had installed etc..
Hi !, yep, I use Titanium BCK too but I need to make a whole system backup, I'll try with nandroid online backup....let's see how it goes
Thanks
I'm pretty decent with root ROMs etc, but I've always been **** at backing up properly. Any recommendations on apps (old or new) and instructions on how to backup and restore my phone so I don't have to relogin to apps, or reset up apps that don't keep my settings within apps that don't keep them even if they have a log in.
Any help would be appreciated. And no, google backup won't work. Doesn't do what I want

Hi, have you tried Swift Backup?
I always use it when I switch the ROM.
Not only apps and its setting, it can restore SMS, call logs and wallpapers though it can't restore entire system.

Haven't tried it, but will on next Evolution ROM update. Do you just not do a restore when clean installing the rim? Then root and install swift, and restore? That simple?

Yep. Just backup apps before doing clean install procedure.
And install Magisk on the new ROM, then install Swift backup and restore apps so that I can use apps just like before without any 're-configuration'.
