about titanium backup

so i want to change again my rom again but now i have a lot of things on my phone that important to me
so i would like to use titanium backup but im not quit sure how to use properly
so can somebody explain to me how do i backup everything
and when i mean everything i mean like saves from games and sms and music and pictures and more
so please i need your help
thanks

Using Titanium Backup:
1. Menu -> Batch -> Select RUN Backup all user apps + System data
2. The backup will be in the folder on ur SD card. Copy and save it in case u earse the entire SD card
Using Recovery:
To backup enitre ROM which ever you are currently using. Reboot into recovery..
Currently I use Clockword Mod, so I know how to do it only by this one
1. Reboot into recovery mode.
2.Under Backup & Restore do the nandroid Backup which backsup the currently using ROM with data.
3. This will also be under the folder ClockwordMod in ur SD card backit up in case u do SD card formatting
For SMS, Call Logs & Pictures I use McAfee Wavesecure which I bought long back and backsup all the data.. not sure about Titanium backup for SMS & stuff...
I think this might help you.

Excuse a newbie question, but doesn't the nandroid recovery just take a snapshot of the current setup with ROM and all?
How do you use it with a new ROM?

You use the nandroid if the new rom doesnt work or you of some other reason want to go back to the old rom.

Don't backup System Data if you are changing from one ROM to another, you will invariably get problems backing up system files that won't work smoothly with the new ROM. Just backup user apps.

Hi,if i backup system data but do not restore them..will it still conflict?

No, that's fine. You can back both up and just restore apps and app data with no problem. I've never backed up system data I really don't see the point, I guess you could backup and restore to the same ROM, but i'd rather just start afresh each time.

Being able to backup system data selectively isn't a bad idea, i.e. Wi-Fi access points and literally one or two other things, if someone is after a system backup this is where nandroid comes into play, in my opinion.

I do agree backup for user apps. Also I would prefer Nandroid to restore the old ROM fully. Since I have been using some CM7 RC builds & also nightly builds.. i started to restore system data as well, which literally helps me to have all settings as well.
Also he can run Restore apps with data alone...
But it is upto OP which method he prefers..

This is for sure, things like bookmarks, user dictionary, wifi are nice to be able to just restore.

Open the app and select Backup/Restore and long press on the system data you want to backup. You should exercise caution and not backup system data that will potentially disrupt another ROM. Wi-Fi Access Points, User Dictionary etc can all be found in there. Hope this helps.

Or the way I did it was just go under the backup/restore tab and scroll till you find what you want to backup ie. Bookmarks, wifi, etc then you are just backing up what you want and need

I have a question regarding Titanium that I hope you can help with...
I've just upgraded to the Gingerbread RUU, so I lost root and can't get it back, or frankly want to have it back, but I've backed up a number of apps with Titanium Backup, and is there any way to reinstall them?
They're all saved to my SD card, and Titanium Backup obviously refuses to work.
I can't and don't want to get root back, so is there any way to manually use these backups, or use them with another program?

You can recover the apps by searching the TitanuimBackup folder and extracting the APKs from the Zip files. It's obviously not possible to recover the data as it's zipped up in a tarball and it requires Superuser rights to access if using Titanium, however I don't know that it's not possible to manually replace the data. If you unzip the tarball and extract the folder to your desktop. If it's the BBC News app for example the folder should look like this after you extract it.
'Data/Data/bbc.mobile.news.uk/cache
-----------------------------------/databases
-----------------------------------/files
-----------------------------------/shared_prefs'
I don't know if you can access Data/Data from the phones internal memory without root, I am using Root Explorer. Try with Astro, I am guessing you can read/write to Data/Data without having S-Off as I am not getting prompted to switch to R/W to delete files (I have Root and S-Off).
If you can read and write to Data/Data without root and S-Off you can manually copy and paste the data over after installing the app, it will take ages to do if you've got any number of apps and I am not ever sure it will work, but I suppose it's worth a go.
I hope this makes sense, it makes semi sense to me as I read it back!

[Q] Titanium Backup: restoring after wiping

I have the premium version of Titanium Backup which I have been using for over a year with much success.
I have one query which would make it really awesome if it can be accomplished.
I normally only use it when doing a ROM upgrade. When I am getting ready to upgrade, I delete all my old backups, do a new set of backups on all user apps + system data, and wipe and flash the ROM. Then, when I'm back inside, I go into the Market and download Titanium plus the Pro unlock, and restore the backup.
(First of all, is this what you guys do? restoring all system data shouldn't screw up the features of the new ROM from the old one, right?)
The question is: Is there any way to have Titanium run without having to first go into the Market, find the app plus the unlock, download it, and install it? i.e. If I could just run it straight off the SD card, or install it straight off the SD card without having to use the Market.
Ideally, it would be even better if I could have a startup script on first run where it just restores the full set of apps + system data after I've flashed the ROM.
Is this at all possible?

download or extract from a rom the titanium.apk, put it on sd-card an install the apk after flashing new rom and it´s done.

Never restore system data as it can and has causes issues. It is only advised to restore user apps and data never system data.
As for your other question no not that I know of. Most roms worth anything already include TIBU so all you have to do is install the pro key and run it.

Start Titanium backup
Goto menu/more/create update>zip
scroll down and hit "create update.zip"
when you install a new Rom just use "add another zip" when in Rom manager or 4EXT recovery
Goto SD card and select "update.zip" from root of SD card
Hope that helps

Thanks, that's great!
Do you know if it is smart enough to bundle the Pro unlock into the update.zip? I opened the zip file up and there only appears to be 1 APK in there.
Would it be difficult (or even possible?) to manually adjust the update.zip so that it includes the Pro unlock APK?

restoring
So I'm returning my nexus for a replacement today. Some kind of battery issue that makes it keep turning off every night:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34923533#post34923533
On restoring, if I understand right, I'm going to move my titanium folder back to the new nexus to the SD card area.
Run my TiBU apk and just restore my apps and associated files.
If I understand right, I Should Not restore my system files right? (Although i did a lot of customizing i was hoping could come right over).
Then when i have it all customized again, I'll back up the new system and hopefully it won't have any issues anymore.
Just an android noob talking it through, sound good?
I'll be installing the rom and CM10 again of course before doing this.

I think he's talking about app names that are red-colored while you're doing the backup in Titanium BackUp.

[Q] Android 4.2 - Titanium Backup

Hello. I am loving bigxie's 4.2 rom (here) but I can't seem to get titanium backup to work. It says I have nothing to restore when I have about 60 things to restore. Please help me.
Thanks

Apparently 4.2 changes directories on your sdcard to sdcard0.
May try titanium settings and have it rescan. Not on 4.2 yet so can't test for you, but seems I had this solution work with a similar issue on another device.
Edit: titanium/preferences/backup location.

Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. I tried changing the "backup location" to:
mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup
sdcard/TitaniumBackup
storage/0/emulated/TitaniumBackup
storage/sdcard0/TitaniumBackup
and other things

I will be assuming that you've used auto detect. Have you tried to move your Titanium Backup folder to /sdcard/0?

do you backup to the cloud? you can import backups from within preferences...otherwise, if you have access to those backups (in a Dropbox folder or something)
connect your phone to your computer...create a new directory "titanium"
copy all backups to this directory
unplug phone from PC
in titanium, select >preferences >backup location
press the back button to navigate to the newly created "titanium" folder, and select it as your new location
it's got something to do with 4.2...i couldn't access my TitaniumBackup folder on pc and did the above to fix it
if you don't have a cloud backup, restore your 4.1.2, copy the TitaniumBackup folder to your PC, then restore your 4.2 and do the above
(there may be an easier way but it's past midnight and that's all i can come up with)

try resetting your filters...i had uninstalled apps filtered out.

Try this
I am not sure if it works for free version, but this is what I did. Titanium Backup Pro -> Preferences -> Backup folder location -> Scan, it will find and give you the multiple directories it has... luckily you will find the one you have your data with... Old post I know, but someone might find it useful when they run into this.

I don't know if this is the right place, but I don't want to start a new topic.
So, this is what I have: a Galaxy Nexus GSM running CM 10.1 (on the nightlies branch). I had to do a data wipe this morning because of a boot loop, but I did a NAND backup from TWRP (checking /data and /system) before that. The problem is that Titanium Backup does not see what's inside that NAND backup - it sees the folder, but when I choose it, it begins scanning ('Analysing TWRP backup'), then comes with a screen like this: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-...1zy6U/s823/Screenshot_2013-02-13-16-31-16.png. Does this have anything to do with the Android ID (I restored it to an older one, it should match the one it was when I did the NAND)? I installed TB 6.0 at first, but it's the same with 6.0.2.1. I have a PRO key.

As far as I know, Titanium Backup doesnt restore from a nand. It makes its own backup folder with all the backups it creates on your SD Card. You have to use Titanium Backup to make the backups. If it does restore from a nand, then I dont know about that option and have never used it.

I beg to differ, please see this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
It clearly says 'restore from CWM/TWRP backup', it's in the menu.
I have a 'native' TB backup, but it's from a little earlier.

Use a root file explorer or adb to move/copy your titanium backups from where they are currently to where titanium wants them to be
e.g. from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup to /sdcard/0/TitaniumBackup for example, I can't exactly remember how it goes for 4.2 (I just came off a 4.2 rom back to 4.1 stock toro).

The native backup restored just fine. If it didn't, I could change the backup location in the settings.
The point is that the NAND backup from TWRP is newer, but appears empty in TB.

[Q] more elegant way to wipe and then restore EVERYTHING

Hi-
If i want to not only wipe system, data, cache but the /data/media partition as well before installing a new ROM, what's the least onerous method for restoring all my data after flashing the new ROM? currently all i know to do is backup my data, wipe everything, then restore factory image via adb, then copy zips to the device, flash desired ROM, then copy back data via adb or from dropbox after installing app
Is there an easier way?

titanium backup is the easiest way.
just dont restore system apps.

1. Run a backup in titanium backup
2. Copy the contents of your /data/media partition to your PC via adb or MTP (this should include your TiBu backup)
3. Wipe System, Data, Userdata, and the caches via method of your choice
4. Copy the contents of your /data/media backup back to /data/media via adb
5. Use adb to push a ROM of your choosing to /data/media (assuming you didn't have one in your /data/media backup, and assuming you're not using fastboot to flash a stock image)
6. Flash away (Recovery, if needed, and System via either fastboot or CWM/TWRP)
7. Download TiBu from the Play Store
8. Restore non-system apps/data in TiBu
However, if you're going to make a backup of /data/media and then restore it immediately after wiping it, I have to ask why? It's a time consuming process (transferring gigs via adb is very slow) and would provide no benefit to your device.
Also, if you're going from Android 4.1.x to 4.2.x, make sure your /data/media backup goes back in /data/media/0, or the OS will not see the files as being on your "external" storage.

Using twrp I wipe cache, davlik, factory reset, and system and my sdcard is untouched. I was told by a dev to also delete the android folder in my sdcard using the twrp file manager.
No need to flash stock image when wiping everything just fast boot flash the rom you want and adb is the best way to restore your sdcard

I know, I know...I have this idea of after flashing many different ROMs and finding my keeper, that I would totally wipe the device and then install a super clean ROM, and start with a virgin /data/media partition, bringing back only what I want. I recognize that this is probably unnecessary and says more about my desire for neatnes than anything else.
But thanks for the detailed instructions. Until now, I have been using the GNex Toolkit downloaded from the sticky in the dev forum to handle all pushes and pulls and adb duties. I thought that to push a file to the device, it had to be in Android mode. This is why I found myself having to flash the stock rom just to copy back the contents of /data/media. It sounds like, from the posts in this thread, that I don't need to, that I should be able to copy the files from fastboot mode? Or do I temporarilty boot into an image to push files, then flash the ROM from TWRP. (I'm using TWRP 2.4.1.0, btw).
If I could avoid installing the factory ROM, just to copy back /data/media/, that's what I'm looking for. Do you know if this is possible using the GNex toolkit?
Thanks again!

you have full ADB access within any custom recovery. toolkits not required.

The best option for titanium, is to select BATCH, RESTORE MISSING APPS+DATA
Go down the list and deselect anything you DONT want restored. everything else should be OK on that screen.
Also, make sure you have the pro license, otherwise batch jobs are a PITA
There is also an option in the MENU button - BACKUP TO XML
This option allows you to backup call logs, wifi networks, mms/sms, bookmarks separately from the other backups and works 100% going rom to rom.

Everybody is recommending TiBU, and I concur, but OP is talking about all the other contents of the sdcard..
I actually just did this today. I had been on cm10.1 but went back to cm10 for a while, getting the extra /0/ folder and all. I was going to just copy EVERYTHING over to my comp, but ended up just copying a few music folders and a few backup folders. After flashing cm10.1 and gapps, I formatted the sdcard. Now I'm transferring those few folders back. I had a FULL sdcard before, so it feels good to have some space, that is until I think of something I wanted that I didn't copy lol..

How to copy the system 1:1 to a new device by using TWRP

I got a new device by RMA and now I want to copy my nandroid backup made with TWRP to the new one.
Which partitions do I have to copy?

Most of the partitions are system based, so don't touch them. All you would want to copy is data, but I am not even sure that would work, without a boot loop? I keep all my data backed up with Titanium. And Google drive would restore most of what you had on your phone as long as you were allowing setting>system>backup.

Data, as it is the one where your settings and app updates are stored. Just be sure the new device is running the same version of Android as the old.

Restoring a nandroid backup of the data partition to another, identical, device will work without causing a bootloop given the precautions I describe above. Do note however that Google's backup only restores items acquired through the Play Store. Alternative app stores such as Amazon will not be restored, apps acquired through Amazon will not be restored, and any apps sideloaded will not be restored. Since Google's restore function doesn't restore everything, any backup solution - like a nandroid backup - is going to be a better alternative.

Thanks for the clarification that you can restore data as long as you are on the same version, does it have to be at the same security update level as well?
That is why I use Titanium for apps I got off of Fdroid and other sources. I will make sure I try the Nandroid data backup next time.

Security level shouldn't make a difference, but that is not something I have attempted. The pair of identical tablets I have here are running the same security update.

Thanks, data did the trick.

I am having the same problem with the fingerprint reader after restoring data from one phone to another, what files did you delete in TWRP file manager?

Solution for fingerprinter:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Go to advanced>filemanager to acces the files in your phone.
3. Enter the folder /data/system/user/0
4. Delete following files: ./fpdata/user.db, settings_fingerprint.xml
5. Reboot to system and set up new fingerprints with the fingerprint wizard
6. Everything should work normal
Was not easy to find, but it's easy to do
