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 had to delete 2 files due to a non working finger printer by using TWRP files explorer, but now the phone is fine.
Last thing pending are customer ringtones, but this is a nasty one.
Any idea how to do it?

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

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?

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.

Is it possible to clone Fire TV's with ClockWorkMod?
I have to set up a bunch of Fire TV's for family and it would be much easier to set one up, create a system image and then clone it onto another Fire TV.
Is this even possible?
yeah, that would be handy. Thread subscribed
Provided the nandroid backup/restore functions are working properly in CWM for this device; that should not be a problem.
The "clones" would need to be rooted have CWM. Probably should back up at least the first device you try this on (just in case the other backup from other device does not work) But either way as long as you don't overwrite recovery you can just reflash whatever rom you were running before trying
All you need to do is pull the images from nandroid backup made on device A and push them to devices B,C,D,etc. Then just do an advanced restore on the clones. Restore system, boot, and data.
Haven't got a spare AFTB to test with, but that's how it's been done on every other device since the first commercial android device to have a custom recovery back in 2008. Don't see any reason it would be any different for this one.
Amazon login might be a slight issue though. You will probably have to sign out before backing up, otherwise you will need to go to your amazon account and deregister all the devices you copied to.

COrrecting my earlier post... this does actually work I just confirmed it however the amount of time it takes to do may actually be longer than manually sideloading all your apks again. Plus it does not backup data so your xbmc build will have to be reloaded after doing this.
You can nandroid it. You will have to unpair the remote from the one you copied and pair its remote. That was the only issue I ran into.
You can also copy over the data directories.

The second one needs to have Clockworkmod recovery installed, you need to root it first.
Setup everything the way you want it on the first one
Make a nandroid backup and copy it to your pc
Root and install clockworkmod recovery on your second, third, forth units (how ever many you have)
copy the nandroid files over to other units
restore the backup
re-pair the remotes

Wait, so when you did a full image backup, it didn't image the apps + apps data? I thought that's what a full system image meant? Like, when you do a full system image of Windows 8, it restores your whole system.

When I did it it did not backup the data for xbmc only the app itself. I really don't have much else on my firetv that I use so i can't say if it transferred data for amazon approved apps. All it really did was restore all my apps sideloaded apps etc... somethign I can probably do manually in about 10 minutes or so.
I have googled this but not getting a clear answer so hoping someone here can confirm.
I am switching from a OnePlus7T to a Nord and I was just wondering what the best option is for transferring my apps and content etc from 7T to Nord.
Last time I went from OP6 to OP7T I did the google restore on the 7T and then also ran the Switch app.
But I ended with lots of duplicate stuff like contacts and other stuff (can't remember what else was duplicated)
So, should I just install Switch onto the Nord - but don't Google Restore and then just run Switch? Will that do everything?
Or is there a better approach?
With my previous non OnePlus phones I would just use Google and some other SMS + Call History restore app and then do other stuff manually.
Thanks.
Hi harryw66, i think the switch app is the better solution as Google Backup doesn't backup everything.
Thanks - I received the phone earlier today and went the Google router - seems to have backed up most stuff - but not my folders etc - so guess I will have to do them manually - just need to be sure the other stuff does not get duplicated...

I use..
- SMS Backup & Restore by Sync Tech to backup messages and call logs and it never failed since first use many years ago. Also it has Google Drive backup, auto delete old messages in drive,.. etc.
- SMS organizer by Microsoft as SMS app. It is the best SMS app I used and still using, though it failed a couple of times in backing up the SMSs.
- Titanium Backup to backup all my apps with data daily.
- SyncMe Wireless by bvaisoft for backing up my entire phone contents to my PC after midnight, daily, including Titanium Backup data.
- To clear the storage space taken by Titanium Backup, the Tasker will delete all these contents at early morning.
I've been using these settings for years, though restoring about half number of apps' data didn't work well with Titanium Backup with 7T. So I used OnePlus switch to copy these apps, but without their data.
Thanks - yes I ended up using SMS Backup & Restore by Sync Tech to backup from old phone and restore onto the Nord.
I used to use SMS Backup+ from Jan Berkel with great sucess in the past - but this seems to be broken now due to Google auth changes...
Cheers.

I don't think, seedvaut has an interface to Google backup. And you can only use it, if it is integrated in your current OS. If you intend to stay with Google, use Google backup. If you go noGApps, its better to manually setup, anyway.

@letrain02, did you find out anything more about SeedVault?
I've searched online and can't find any documentation to speak of, and haven't managed to find out how to use it by trial and error. It's easy to switch between Google and SeedVault in Settings, but not at all clear how to restore SV backups. No manual 'restore' option in Settings, and LOS doesn't offer to find and restore an SV backup on first boot of a reset / reflashed system (although SV is now the default backup service).
I can confirm, though, that if you've installed gapps it still goes through the standard Google setup on first boot, including asking if you want to restore a backup. SV being the default backup service doesn't affect that.

Google's setup will only restore a Google backup, of course. How to restore a SV backup remains a mystery to me.
You can save SV backups to NextCloud, USB OTG storage, internal storage, or microSD card. Backups are stored in a hidden folder .SeedVaultAndroidBackup at the top level of the chosen storage device. If you choose the microSD card, it warns that this is 'internal storage' (even if it's 'portable' storage) and won't be available if you're rebuilding the device ... which isn't true.
Some good news! I found a useful piece of information in https://forum.fairphone.com/t/has-anyone-tried-seedvault-backup-with-lineage-17/62481/8 - how to manually run SeedVault's restore process. It works!
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.stevesoltys.seedvault/.restore.RestoreActivity
Shortly after posting that last message, I re-flashed a LineageOS device that'd had SeedVault active as the backup service, and accepted LOS's offer to restore from backup. It ran SeedVault Restore and restored successfully. So in that sense it works much like restoring a Google backup.
Entering a 12-word encryption key is a bit of a pain, but is still a lot easier than manually reconfiguring the device - and as a bonus, you can run / re-run the restore manually, which is either impossible or very difficult to do with Google backups.
Note that SeedVault never re-uses an encryption code. When you enable / re-enable SeedVault backups it creates a new code. It doesn't seem to be possible to set the code manually.

Just because it took me some time to und erstand: you connect your device to a computer and run the command via USB. This triggers a programm start in the device. You can then unplug from the computer and connect the USB stick with the Backup.
What is the best backup solution that can backup appdata and apps and system settings?
Google backup? I've been wondering this myself, but haven't found anything but Google's backup/restore. :|
For apps and their data, i suggest SwiftBackup. You connect it with your google account for cloud backup (paid) or create a local folder that you can tranfer to usb drive (free) and use it to restore back to your phone or any other device.
It also backs up call logs and messages and wifi networks.

I had issues with Migrate on an older phone as well (OP 7Pro) , but so far on this phone it has been solid.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do incremental backups of only modified data? I've used Swift Backup but it doesn't seem to be an option. Swift has an option to back up only "updated apps" but I could care less whether the apk was updated... I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

No don't think so.

I had issues with Migrate on an older phone as well (OP 7Pro) , but so far on this phone it has been solid.
Does anyone know of any apps that can do incremental backups of only modified data? I've used Swift Backup but it doesn't seem to be an option. Swift has an option to back up only "updated apps" but I could care less whether the apk was updated... I'd like something that can back up only apps with modified data on a nightly basis, the way I used to do with Titanium Backup on earlier versions of Android.

Did not see any option for that in the app. You can do it manually by renaming theold backup folder and redoing existing backup option. I think that would work.

Wouldn't that just back up everything again? Or maybe I don't follow what you mean.

Yes, back up everything again but since you rename the old backup folder you end up with 2 incremental backup. At least that how i see it but it would be a pain to do that if you want nighly backups.
The only other idea may be to set a scheduled backup (paid). Just took a look, it say you can have customisable backups in premium (which i don't have) maybe someone can tell us what that contains?

You're talking about multiple backups, I'm talking about incremental/differential backups, where only modified data is backed up. The purpose is for smaller size and faster backups so they can be run daily or even multiple times a day. I save my backups to google drive and "all apps" is about 20 GB for me. It's insane to upload that much every single night when most of it hasn't changed, but I want my backups always up to date for the next time my phone is bricked unexpectedly. I do have premium, but the option to back up only modified data isn't there. I'm looking for an app that can do that, like Titanium Backup did flawlessly.
