Alternative to titanium backup

Is there an alternative to TiBu that will allow me to backup all my apps and data without having to select "install" and "done" for every app? I just want to have it install all my apps and not botherme with the permissions and what not, just do it.
Thanks
Jerry
P.S. or am I doing something wrong?

If you purchase the pro version it will fo just that.
No more being prompted to install every app

Super Manager is free from the market and you can enable silent installs on restores I believe.

I've been very happy with MyBackup Pro.

My Backup Root is also a good free alternative.

Have you ever used it to restore system data? What about after flashing to a different ROM? Backing up system data with TiBu is only useful if you are restoring to the same ROM version, otherwise you get force closes that will require a reflash. I'd like something that lets me restore system data across any ROM even if it is only my contacts, BT pairings, e-mail accounts and wifi settings. That's the stuff I hate having to redo every time I flash a ROM.

Already using it to sync my Outlook data, but doesn't do the system stuff.

I used MyBackup Pro. It does it job well.

Buy the full version. You can batch restore, sync to DropBox, plus others.

I would just buy the pro version. Plus you get all the added functionality.

Installing apps via titanium back up update.zip

So I decided to try this new feature of TiBu and flashed the update.zip in recovery after I flashed a new rom. The problem is that Google also downloads missing apps even ones I deleted a long time ago and are also not in the backup zip file I made in TiBu. Is there anyway to disable Google from doing this?
This is after wiping and flashing a new rom and doing the set up wizard. Asked to link my Google /gmail account to the phone so i would assume if I skipped that step it would cause an issue?
Thanks.

It shouldn't cause any sort of issue. I have done it before without any sort of issue. You can link the google/Gmail account to your phone at a later time, like after you flash that update.zip. I advise that you make an update.zip of only user apps. I find that a lot of the problems that people have are caused by restoring apps and data. I find that it's ok to restore the data of games though

When you first setup your phone Google asks do you want to backup your settings online and then asks do you want it to restore your data (wifi settings, apps, etc). You have chosen yes to both. Go into your settings and then "backup and reset". Unchecked backup my data and automatic restore. Never use them again. They are worthless if you are rooted

Do you have another android device with those options chosen possibly? I've only had it do that to me when those options are checked off. And it would even download apps I had on my other devices that I never put on the current one. Got annoying. Fast. I just turned it off on all devices.

[Q] Titanium Backup aid (mobilepass)

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
I am relatively new to my Nexus 5, and loving the phone so far. I am not new to flashing roms, rooting devices, etc., but definitely not a extreme power user by any means.
The one issue I am running into is preserving a particular application, MobilePass, as I flash a new rom on my Nexus 5. By flashing I mean a clean flash (clearing system data etc). I use titanium backup (paid version), and while it will restore the APK, it does not restore the app information. Why this is a problem is the program is used to generate a VPN key, and if the token information is not preserved I have to go through this long process at work to get the VPN working again (sending access code, having infrastructure enable, etc.) Will say, I can understand if it is not possible to restore a program like this for security reasons, but figured I will ask the community.
The steps I take in running the backup in titanium:
- Going to the batch screen
- Selecting backup apps + system data
Have never tried the option to create a flashable zip.
Anyone have pointers or other backup utilities they would suggest?
Additionally, did read over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717159 but did not really give me anymore information than I did not already know.
Thanks for any help.
**Edit after installing helium (CM backup solution), it seems that there is an option in Android application development to not allow apk backup's. So there might not be a solution here.

Some apps just don't respond well to being restored. Don't think there's much you can do. Maybe try another backup app to see if it's the same deal?

Thanks for the fast reply. Are there any other backup programs you recommend?

Titanium is the best for a reason. Extremely reliable and paid version has many uses.
But just to see if your app is capable of restoring data... Try anything you find on playstore. Just backup that app. Then uninstall it. And try restore. There's "my backup root" and "Helium" . Those are the only 2 I know off hand.
Maybe try the apps website to see if you can find out if it's even possible to restore data maybe first though.

Thanks KJ. I did try Helium, and think I found the issue. Updated the first post with a screenshot. Would be nice if Titanium had the same notification system.

Doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine if you know what you're doing, the only problem is that many people have no idea what they're doing.

Completely agreed.
One question to make sure, since I haven't ever flashed my 1+1 yet. Will a wipe before flashing a 5.0.2 ROM (I'm on 4.4.4) delete all the stuff on /sdcard? Normally that's never the case - but I want to be sure on my 1+1.
Thanks

It will only wipe your internal storage if you choose to do so. Just do the usual full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) and you'll be fine.

He's only said not to restore system data with Titanium. It's ok to backup/restore user apps with their data.

I tried for Call backups and it works great....... Now thinking to make my apps backup too.

I am using this backup app since long time and it is really a very good reliable app.

Hi... can anyone tell me how to restore if i have backup from Poco F3 and want to restore on K30 Pro Zoom ?
and the devices already rooted.
Because last time, i cant restore even already copy the backup folder to new device.,.. Swift backup app cannot found my backup. (offcourse with same google account)

On LineageOS 18.1 with Magisk I'm not able to backup and restore any App data
The Backup process says "Complete", but when I look at the SwiftLogger I see the following error
ApkReader: Output for file /storage/emulated/0/SwiftbBackup/... [ERROR: dump failed because assets could not be loaded]

That is probably the reason why it won't restore.
Any idea what to do or where to look?
Ps: I'm just using the local version for now.

Hi everybody,
I switched to Swift Backup from Titanium Backup, and I got lost in the labyrinth of Swift's interface. I took a backup of all my apps, then a nandroid backup with TWRP and then I switched to a different rom.
In this operation, I forgot to back up Swift's password (I wish it could be disabled), so now I'm wondering: is there a way to recover the password for Swift from the nandroid backup? Can it be found in /data/data for example?

How do I change the backup location on this Swift app ?
How do I pick a specific folder ?

A terrible directive for an advanced app. They certainly won't see my money

I'm on the Pixel 7 Pro and finally had the occasion of needing to restore my wallpaper; and it confirmed what I had feared when initially looking at it from the app -- while it was the correct picture/image, it ended up being off-center and zoomed without being able to correct it.
Anyone else having this issue? Know of a workaround or explanation?

The explanation is simple: backup apps are unreliable. They only have different limitations. Swift is no exception, as I'm finding many.
This is how you may investigate:
[Root]/data/system/users/0/wallpaper_info.xml
This file carries the wallpaper settings.
I would compare this file before and after customizing the wallpaper to memorize the differences.
Then I would back it up and immediately restore it using Swift
If there is a difference between before and after the backup, you found the cause.
Since I grew tired of relying on these backup apps, I make manual copies of these files you will see around these folders, the folders beying /data/system/, and /data/system/users/0

Besides the inability to specify the backup dir, I found another problem: Swift encrypts everything.
On titanium, one can extract the app and the data from the ZIPs. Here, I can't.
Moreover, by using apps like Solid Explorer I can make a copy of other apps, with it's clear name, icon, and ready to install (and on a more organized manner).
The only advantage over Titanium is the backup of permissions, but being that the only one, I'd remove the "best app to backup" from the title of this thread.
