[Q] Best way to Backup Everything ??

Hello
Can somebody tell me the best way to Backup "Everything" ??
I used "Titanium Backup Pro" but it doesn't backup directly to the microSD card !!
I have to backup to the internal storage first which is Ridiculous !!
also after Restoring the apps with the data I had to reinstall many apps to get them working (which requires me to delete them and install them again) !!
Also it doesn't backup "Gameloft" games' data automatically !!
Is there a better way to Backup ?? Please reply..
Thanks in advance..

backup with Titanium Backup Pro , then copy "TitaniumBackup" folder to your microsd
do the same to the "Gameloft" folder , after u want to restore , copy back the "TitaniumBackup" folder and "Gameloft" folder , to your device
best way to backup , i did it like 5 times

You can backup directly to the micro SD card ... just make a folder on the microsd (i call mine Backup )
Open titaniumbackup .. press menu > preferences then scroll down to the "Backup folder location" and point it to the folder you've just created...
as for the gameoft files .. well your just gunna have to copy to sd card yourself (use ESFile explorer)

I mentioned that after Restoring the apps some of them don't work...
You have to delete them then install them from the market again !!

I will generally install from the markets website and use TB just to restore the data.

Then you are doing something wrong. I just did a restore yesterday (85 apps) and all of them is working. Latest TI backup pro.

In the titanium options settings are you sure you have both file and data checked to be backed up? Is it just paid apps that don't work?

Yes !! Both the app and it's data !! But i did the backup 3 months ago... It was the first time and the last time i did a backup !! I'm sure that the settings improved in the current version !!
As long as i remember... Only "Glu" games and 2 or 3 apps that i don't remember didn't work (force close) and the only way to reinstall market apps is to delete them and install them again.. but thankfully my game save was stored online on Facebook !!

However... I don't need to backup at the moment !! I'm waiting for ICS... and if it requires wiping then I'm gonna need to backup !!

I burnt myself with same thing and trusted the LG suite to restore all the things however I couldn't and lost all of previous SMSs'. Now i can't live w/o using SMS backup and restore app from marketplace. It's the best app out there and backs up your SMSs' to internal or external storage. Make sure you change the path to external so that when you wipe your phone you dont lose that backup. The dev also has phone call backup app.
IMP: Just make sure you change the save path to External SD and then just backup phone log and sms using these apps and you can restore them after you install any firmware.

I suggest to use MyphoneExplorer to restore your SMS. Way much much better than the LG PC suite....

Can you back your phone to you're computer

What app do you Use

What exactly are you trying to backup?
If you already have a Titanium Backup, copy that folder to your PC
Also, SMS Backup and Restore, Call Log Backup and Restore and APN Backup and Restore to backup those items, then copy the folders to the computer from your phone.
We need a little more info to give you a good answer but that should help

To backup your phone, complete Andorid OS, system files, apps and all.....you need a nandroid backup. This you would acheive with Clockworkmod Recovery. This a complete 1:1 backup that will be an exact replica of your phone. Everything........you then copy the backup folder to your computer.
Now if you want a backup like syncing your files, music, pics and folders, you need Kies, which is the samsung software for this. HOWEVER, it may or may not backup your SYSTEM files and settings......I have not used Kies in a while, so dont know what it does anymore
And finally, you can use a file manager like Astro File Manager, Root Explorer and then copy all files to your external SD card.
Have fun !!

And u say I'm in every thread? I leave for a few hours and u handle all the questions lol, what I'm I supposed to do now?

What he said... ^^^^.... with one exception. .. a Nandroid backup does NOT backup the modem partitions (mmcblk0p17 and mmcblk0p13).

I agree with Uncle Irish, Titanium Backup will do all that for you.

To sync to a windows pc, just get my phone explorer from Google play.

EDIT: MyPhoneExplorer lets you sync to Outlook, Thunderbird, and several other apps on your PC. You'll need to download the PC version, too. I use this to back up my contacts and calendar to Outlook.
The other posts here have great advice for backing up your phone's files. ROM Toolbox is a great app that does a lot of what you want on a rooted phone. It can do app backups just like Titanium Backup (I actually like RTB better than TiBu). I also back up calendar and contacts to google for easy syncing after a wipe.

Files
For me, Trubackup scores higher because it backsup to dropbox rather than my SD, plus it lets me select the files I want to store. It has a 30 Day Trial free on googleplay, give it a whirl. Go to google play & search for turbackup and start using

Restoring problem and root.
So when i was on my galaxy s duos my device was rooted, i made some backups to my sd card, when i upgraded to the galaxy grand duos, i couldnt seem to restore anything from that sd card so then i decided to root it, now im having a problem that when i open the app, first off it doesnt ask for su permission, AND i still cant restore anything back from my sd card to the grand, im regretting using this app so much.. please if someone has a solution to this, share it with me.

I think Android Manager will meet your need. It is a management tool that can transfer files between computer and Android phone. You just need to launch it in you computer, and then connect your phone to computer. It will export files from MAC to Android and import files from Android to MAC. Just have a try! It will solve your problem.
