[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?

[Q] EFS backup

Hello, i performed an EFS folder backup using EFS Professional. My question is, why it needs Busybox to work? I must have Busybox installed if i need to restore the EFS folder? I'm on 4.2 stock and rooted.
PS: the backup went ok, no errors. There is anothe better way to backup EFS on gt-i9105P?
PS2: Restoring a nandroid backup, also restore the EFS folder?
there is very little chance that your efs folder will be blown up .. now that you have a backup , you need not need to worry .. while flashing roms and wiping dat , and restoring roms via cwm backup and restore you only need to restore the rom and not the efs folder backup .. if in case , you do not find your imei no. or your efs folder and stuff , you can at any given time restore it manually .. correct me if i am wrong but that is how it works . all the best and Happy Flashing

[Q] Nandroid: backup modem partition

Hi there,
I'm new to this forum, I have read a lot, thanx for the info for sa far!
My question is: I have a LG G2 an made a backup using Online Nandroid Backup (NORMAL BACKUP MODE).
When I browse the backup, there's a modem partition (3 MB).
If I try to make a backup using SELECTIVE BACKUP MODE, I can choose what partitions to backup. But there's no option to backup the modem partition.
How can I make a single nandroid backup of this partition?
(I tried to make a nandroid backup of the EFS partition, but that was empty)
Thank you in advance!
Regards Erik

Any way to restore from corrupted EFS Partition (Backup Lost)

So basically i thought i had a backup of my EFS through Philz Recovery before i started to root and flash Darkstalker Rom V5. Well i ticked the option to fix the EFS partition in the aroma setup box and after installation, i see that i have a corrupted IMEI and Serial Number. I transfer the backup to restore it and to my surprise, it contained system, data, and cache but no efs. What are my options here? Any help would be appreciated..
Have you tried Odin to stock?

Restore specific app backup with TWRP

I have TWRP 3.2.3.0 running with Xiaomi Mi5. I had created a data backup with a rom I do not anymore use, but it contains an app’s data I want to recover.
Is there a way to parse the twrp backup files with a tool (PC perhaps) to extract the specific folder from the data and restore it?
Or, is there a tool that can read the twrp backup and partially restore the selected app data?
Thanks
