I've been using Titanium Backup for weeks and it's an amazing app so far. Today I want back-up my new game called The Alchemist Code. It ran normally but after the back-up finished I realized that the backup size is too small compared the game (app+data) size. The game is about 2GB (I checked it in file management) while the backup is only 30MB. My other games have backups with sizes similar to the games themselves, so I assumed Titanium Backup doesn't fully backup The Alchemist Code.
I tried to check the game size through Titanium backup and indeed, it showed that the game is only 30MB, so maybe Titanium Backup only backed up what it recognized.
What should I do now? Did I do the backup wrong?

Hey guys. I have been using Sprite Mobile to back up my PIM and I am wondering which app is best for backing up my apps and games. For example, i have installed some games and I want to flash a new rom w/o losing my save game. What app backs up the appdata as well? All I know is that there are plenty of apps that help backup the .apk file but not my save games.
EDIT: Nevermind. I tried titanium backup after a long time again and it seems to to the trick. Not really sure if it restores my apps/games back to ext2 partition though.
How many Nandroid backups do you keep "just in case?"
I want to balance safety, but not fill my SD Card with stuff I don't need.
Electronics are not infallible. Whatever you have on your card is a copy, from backup(s) on your PC.
I only have 1 copy on a Backup-SD card, usually updated from the last backup. But I have an original backup (and succeeding) version from day 1 on my PC, just in case.
nandroid backups aren't too critical if you backup the individual apps and settings with something like Titanium Backup. I try to get a nandroid every time I apply a new update or ROM however, and then just keep it until I'm sure I don't want to roll back.
I will usually keep the last nandroid on device/memory card, and store the rest like mt4g-cm7.1-backup-2012-02-05.7z. For Titanium Backup I keep on device and will periodically make an archive to snap shot off into cold storage with my old nandroids.
How many....is just a matter of how much space I'm willing to allocate. Which is probably 10-40 gigs for now.

I use TB and never do a nandroid. Well almost never... My must not lose apps are backed up to the cloud.

I downloaded a racing game (Asphalt 7) and it's about 1.7GB installed according to "manage apps". According to playstore, the game is around 1.6GB download.
When I backed it up using titatium backup pro, I looked at the backup files and altogether the files are around 150mb. Obviously, something is amiss.
Can you help? thanks
In Titanium preferences you have an option to "Backup app external data" and "Select external data max size".
Try to just set the first one to Enabled (Always).
I'm not sure if it's worth it tho. Maybe better to just save your game settings and progress and have the big files downloaded when you need them.
Tried always and using Max size of 9999mb, backup size is still too small
Hmm thats strange, well the huge datafiles from games are stored here and there.
I have quite a few big games and most of them store their huge files here:
/Android/data/obb/
and
/Gameloft/
I was thinking of just manually backing these folders up just incase download servers would go down or something like that.
Anyway, maybe it's best to have these huge packs separated from Titanium backups since I feel Titanium is pretty slow as it is when it comes to Dropbox, Box syncing.
Just having Titanium compressing them huge files will take some time even on a pretty fast phone.
Hello, unlike in Titanium Backup where you can choose the number of backups you want to keep, I can not see any option in which you can choose the number of Nandroid backups you wish to keep. For example, if I want to make a backup everyday automatically and if I forget to delete one every day, in a week, I will end up with 7 backups which will fill up my device's storage. Even if I remember to delete a backup every day, it will become quite tedious. So, how can I make Nandroid backups overwrite each other so that I will always have 1 SINGLE backup?
Manually with root explorer. TWRP has backup to SD card rather than internal memory but those backups are big so you will still need to delete them occasionally. I why do you want a full nandroid backup every day? TiBu will keep track of app changes daily if set that way. How many actually system changes are you making everyday?
Sent from my iPho.... Hahaha couldn't keep a strait face.
Is it possible to only backup specific folders with Titanium Backup? For example, I'd like to backup only the game saves of a particular app, rather than all of the external data since its a difference of 60KB of the game save vs 3+GB of all external data in this particular apps case.
Thanks!
