[Q] How does titanium backup work? - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i want to use titanium backup but i dont understand how it works. i want to flash a new ROM onto my phone and i have to wipe data but i want to use titanium backup to recover all my data after the ROM is installed...how does this work????

If you have the donate version, you can go to settings and create a zip that is flashable in recovery. After you create the zip hit the menu button, choose batch, and choose backup all user apps+data. Flash your Rom, after you let the Ron boot up once, reboot and flash the titanium backup zip. This will reinstall titanium. Go to batch and choose restore missing apps+data and your done. You might as well go ahead and get the donate version because if you don't have it you have to click install for every app. With donate version, it just installs them without you having to click everytime. Make sure usb debugging is enabled or it won't work correctly.

Titanium Backup backs up your apps and data to the SD card. Wiping data through clockwork wipes the flash memory built into the phone, but leaves the SD card completely intact. Thus, you can wipe data, flash your ROM, redownload Titanium from the market, hit restore, and you are good to go.

the donate version sucks..
unless you like wasting your night clicking install a hundred times lol

Backup with Titanium or CWM??

i am new to all this but managed to flash kh3 and root it.
i paid for the pro version of titanium and backed up everything on my galaxy s2 but it backs up to SD. isnt this the internal sd storage and thus would wipe when flashed with another firmware?? i looked into the CWM that came with the firmware but this is just a recovery console isnt it?
i guess i need some guidance of how to properly backup but maybe i want too much. i really was thinking along the lines of a ghost image of everything even things like APN settings etc.
any help appreciated guys.
The sd card isn't wiped when you install any other firmware.
The recovery console has a backup/restore feature, it makes an image of the firmware and software that's installed on the phone.
when i clicked the backup part of cwm it took me to the recovery console where it had factory reset, wipe partition ( or whatever it said) etc etc, i didnt then see it do a backup?
cheers mate

Sounds like you only have Recovery console & not CWM. If you had CWM, you would see tons of options.
I always have a backup of my current ROM in CWM it's absolutely essential in case things go wrong which they have on occasions, i also back up my apps weekly witt Titanium Backup and delete the previous backup.

Which kernel are you using?
kh3 from intratech's thread.
i downloaded rom manger and did the top option to get the latest cwm i think but when i tried to backup it errored and i had to press home to restart??
I just use titanium, backup all my apps to external sd card.
Format phone or install a new rom, and just restore all apps with 1-click via titanium.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but what the heck.
I have Titanium backup and it backs up to Dropbox. Now if I Flash a new ROM, how do I go about restoring the backup?
In WinMo I have a backup program that created a zipped up file of backups and a small exe file that unpacked and restored the files (complete restore, ROM upgrade restore, etc).
Should use both!

Batch restore.
Left button at the bottom of your phone > batch
Restore all from there.
If you set your folder location to an external sd card, you can format or install a new rom and your apps wont be touched. You can do a batch restore of all your apps from within titanium.

Well that's your problem, your using a stock kernel, use cf-roots kernel that has cwm already built in.

Combine titanium media sync with titanium backup and you are sorted.
I have set automatic backup once a week, all is then synced via dropbox when i connect my phone on charger. This way I also backup all the pics and videos I take.
One thing I was wondering is there anyway to have titanium and premiere key backed up initself....in the sense that whenever I restore I always have to go to market get the key and the titanium app then started restoring...maybe I could go to my storage install them from there then reinstall instead off faffing with the market?
apologies if this is a silly question
I have the key on my external sd card .

Restoring problem with Titanium Backup

So I backuped all my system data and apps with titanium backup and now installed different ROM, and when I try to restore missing apps and data it asks for approval for every single app I had installed. I need to press "install" and then "done" for each app, and not only that, if I don't want to install and press cancel it stops working and I need to go to task manager, kill titanium backup and do everything again..
Any ideas how to make that process automatic?
u can try another version of it.....since the data is in the sdcard .the versions wont mattr
Do you have free or full version installed ?

I have a free one.
What approval does it ask for?
I'd be wary of restoring all system appsndata coming from a different ROM.
Try restoring data for Titanium Backup by itself first to see if helps it remember.

Not using CWM recovery.
Can you not bump threads an hour after you started them please ?
If you want to backup/restore apps, use Titanium Backup Pro. As Oinky has hinted at, you're not going to be able to do that with CWRecovery. It's all or nothing with a Nandroid; in advanced restore the options are pretty straightforward (and don't include an option to restore just apps).

I guess https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor makes most sense in your situation.
i use rom toolbox pro for backup app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result
If you did indeed make backup in CWM before flashing RR 2.0, you should restore it via CWM (not download mode). It will restore your phone to its complete state before flashing RR2.0 . Download Titanium backup, backup all user apps in batch mode (top right hand corner button) - don't backup the system (red coloured) apps! Now flash RR 2.0 again after doing wipe, cache wipe and dalvik wipe, fix permissions afterwards under 'advanced' (still in CWM). Download Titanium Backup again, and under batch mode, restore user apps - not system apps!
If you have the free version you'll be prompted to do the apps restore one by one, don't worry, it will work just as fine (just time consuming)

PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
Yeah use Titanium Back Up as mentioned in the post above.
Once u open TB, on the top right of the screen u will see a tick within a box. Click on this. It will open Batch Backup/Restore options.
Click on Backup all user apps before flashing a new ROM.
once u have flashed a new rom, click on Restore missing apps with data.
Titanium backup
Ultimate Backup
App2Zip - You choose the apps you want and it puts them in a flashable zip on your SD card or internal storage. When you install your new ROM, just install the flashable zip and you have your apps back. Only thing is, it doesn't save the app data with it
AppExtractor - You can extract and install apps AND/OR app data from CWM recovery backups. You can also restore WiFi info, Bluetooth settings, contacts n I think a couple of other things.
All in the market.

Flashing update.zip and restoring apps

A popular function of the donate version of Titanium Backup is making a flash able zip to restore apps via recovery. I will be covering the steps to manage this successfully.
1.Open main menu of Titanium Backup and go to Special Features. There will be an option create update.zip. (This will only backup the apk of titanium Backup) Name it as TitaniumBackup xxxxxx and create zip.
2.Now open the batch section of Titanium Backup and locate the `Create update.zip from apps+data'. Proceed with the making of the zip.
3.If you have factory reseted or changed rom' then finish the setup of ROM and reboot into recovery. First flash the (TitaniumBackup xxxxxx) zip and reboot again.
4. Open titanium backup and grant supersu or superuser permissions. Reboot back into recovery.
5.Flash update.zip and let the process finish. It will reboot automatically and proceed to restore data. After the finish of this process reboot one last time if it asks you to.

personally I still think backup is better instead make flashable zip, it took too long .................
I prefer batch restore too, purely because I like to check through the apps just to make sure apps that I don't want don't get restored

You can do that while making the zip. And its faster then manually installing each app.
