Hi,
recently purchased the titanium backup pro.
I have 2 android devices that are using it
samsung tab s and a S6.
I noticed that both devices upload to the dropbox in a single location - dropbox/TitaniumBackup.
Will it cause any issues of files being overwritten as there will definitely be some overlapping apps that i got for both devices.
Or will the file name be individualized so that will not be any problems when i restore back ups.
Another thing is, i usually do a manual restoration of my backup to the sdcard , now that both backups are in a single location, how can i "correctly" seperate them so i can transfer the correct one back to my device?
Or is there a feature within titaniumbackup that im not knowing, which can help to directly restore the backup from the dropbox location?
Btw, im upgrading my Samsung Tab S OS kitkat to lollipop.
will my data backup be still valid for usuage?

My phone is about to be taken away (XPERIA X10) for a replacement in few days. I want to back up everything on it, not just the apps or settings. I want to back up the Android 2.2 which I have on it, all the apps in it with the settings.
I had 2.1, i have got everything ready, such xrecovery and etc.
Could you tell me a way I could also backup my root files (not the sd files).
Thanks
does any one know what I could use
Is your phone rooted? If so, you should use Titanium Backup. You have the ability to backup all your system files and data files. However, keep in mind that when you restore system files, they will need to be restored on the same version of Android that you had on your original phone. If not, you can have many conflicts on restore.
If your phone isn't rooted, there are several backup programs in the Android Market and Amazon's market that do backups.
Don't know if this will help, but if you could provide more information on your question, you will probably get more specific answers.
Good Luck!!
As long as it's a replacement of the exact same phone with the exact same OS, I'm pretty sure you could just use something like Titanium Backup to handle all this if your phone is rooted.
I do have my phone rooted, I want to backup everything, everything, so I can restore the phone as it was. Dont worry about the new phone, i can root and get android 2.2 on it.
As said, Titanium Backup is your best bet. If you're talking about something similar to a nandroid backup through your recovery, you cannot restore those across phones with causing major problems.
Backup your apps + data with TB, but I wouldn't restore any system data. Download the rom you're currently running & have your root method handy. Setting back up shouldn't take too long. I'd take screenshots as well to help when setting widgets back up because TB or any other app cannot restore those.
EDIT: Also backup your contacts/calendar through gmail. Go in to your Accounts & Sync settings and choose sync now. Don't restore anything backed up with Google through Titanium Backup, you might get duplicates.
1) I used DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.20 [Windows/Mac/Linux] to upgrade my phone to 4.1.2. The utility said i would lose my data and I did. No problem.
2) I flashed a ROM named XenonHD. I found that it would not fully boot until I wiped the data. I lost my data so fine I recover but this was a PITA.
3) I backup XenonHD using TWRP and when XenonHD decided to not allow a data connection any more I decided to go back to 4.1.2.
4) I use TWRP to restore the most recent 4.1.2 backup and I find that none of my data is present.
Question: Is there a way to serially flash multiple ROMs and keep my data through the process? I flashed my ROM with my HTC ThunderBolt and never had this issue.
Thanks.

Yup Titanium backup. I recommend the paid version for quicker restore.
There are a few other apps that do this also.
It's in the toolbox of every good crackflasher.
TiBu and "data"
When I say data in the above post I mean files like .pdb file for iSilo and midi files that I use to determine the tune for a hymn.
These are the "data" that I find being removed. I place these files in a folder under sdcard.
I can restore the .pdb files but they are all managed content and I have to put an access code for all 30 some .pdb files to re-enable their use with iSilo.
Thanks.

I have a samsung galaxy s2 and I am thinking of upgrading to a samsung galaxy s4. But I want to keep all the existing apps, data, messages, emails, etc... from the s2 to the s4, upon that the Rom itself. So is it possible to backup the s2 Rom then root the s4 and extract all the data from the backup onto the s4. Is that possible or will the firmware not allow it. So my question is "Is it possible to transfer a backup from a different phone onto an other phone?"

Hi,
I don't think you should do what you want, because it can cause a lot of problems, if you just transfer data between different Android versions.
However, I think you can synchronize almost everything to yout Google Account (contacts, emails, phone numbers, installed apps, maybe even the data for them), so these informations will not get lost.
The only exception is SMS, but that can be solved too: there is an app on Google Play that can do that for you. (Name is "SMS Backup & Restore" made by Ritesh Sahu)
You backup SMS messages to XML file, keep it somewhere (for example microSD card), and from the new software you install this app again, and simply restore your backup. If something fails, that is no problem, since messages will be in XML files, and you can even read them with a text editor, so they will not disappear
So my advice is: backup SMS messages, and sync every other. But remember to do these before you do anything that can erase these data (or before you want to take them to the new device).
Developers advise everyone not to backup app data and restore on a different version android because not only they cause application crash, they may also write the wrong lines in system paths ( sorry I've forgot the actual reason :silly: )
If you want a fresh install of your current ROM, it's ok to backup and restore everything
I normally go with Go Backup Pro cracked
Hi,
You have another app, called SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel.
With this app you can do the backups of SMS, Call Logs and Whatsapp in Gmail, each one in their respective folder. Then, if you have Outlook, these new mails can be downloaded to your PC (using filters). The backups can be done automatically.
Saludos
Hi
I'll be updating to 5.1.1 later and wondered what the best way to restore my S6 (SM-G920F). I'll be backing up different ways where each backup does it slightly differently.
I have
1. Samsung backup set up via the backup/restore options
2. Google sync via accounts and backup via backup/restore options
3. Helium backup "carbon" folder copied to my PC
Which is the best to restore from?
Is there a certain order i should do it?
Can i ignore any of the options listed above? I only ask this as Helium is denied backup to certain apps e.g. WhatsApp etc.
Thanks
The first 2 options are what I use for backup. I tried Helium in the past on another non rooted phone, but it wasn't up to my expectations.
I'm assuming that you're not rooted, otherwise nothing compares to Titanium Backup.
BTW, just upgrading using Odin will not touch your data, so you should be fine.
Also check the app itself, it can have an option to backup.
Good luck with your upgrade

Hi there,
I am upgrading my phone from a Samsung s5 to the new s7 edge. The app I want to have data backed up is neko atsume.
So I installed helium as per instructions and commenced the backup - successful. I then proceeded to restore it on my s7e, but helium doesn't show any available backup.
Still trying to keep it to simple processes, I tried to reverse the process and installed neko atsume on the s7e, and proceeded to do a backup there.
I found that when helium backed the app up on the s5, it produced a .json file in the carbon folder. However, when it was backed up from the s7e, it produced a .ab file.
I'm guessing incompatibility is the problem, and am wondering if there's any way around it - either file conversion or smth.
Help and advice needed please.
