It copies the data files to Your sdcard.
I use it also.
But the best backup utility is xRecovery (for Xperia) or CWM

Titanium Backup IMO. Google it, play around. Freeze apps, backup...it's pretty straight forward.

Titanium Backup is my preferred one.

Not much can beat tibu

I use TITANIUM BACKUP PRO as well. It's very simple and also very efficient

clockworkmod is the best

I use a combination of MyBackup and Titanium Backup; MB for restoring apps in bulk and TB for restoring the data.

I recommended Titanium backup pro.
It's very simple and useful.

Titanium Backup is best for my taste.

Titanium+Google for apps level, and clockwork mod nandroid images for whole system backups/checkpoints.

Titanium Backup Pro

titanium works good for backing up apps, but for system related stuff you need something like cwm

Titanium Backup for sure !

Titanium Backup Pro all the way!

I also echo the Titanium Backup, works real nice. I don't think it backs up SMS or Call Logs though (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong!!). For that I use SMS Backup & Restore along with Call Log Back Up & Restore.

CWM
I think... and my qout goes to CWM.. everybody have it...
we need it for dev... and soo i think it`s the best... no installtion like titanium.. and soo think CWM iss the best

Any good backup software

Is there any good backup software that will create like an image of the phone as is, software installed, ringtones used etc that can be used if you ever have to hard reset your phone ??
I use MyBackup Pro (get it from ppcware*) - it can backup your apps, phone settings (including APN's) and so on...

[Q] Backup apps and data?

Can anyone suggest a good backup that saves the apk and all the data?
I've tried titanium but it did restore some of the data, ie the dates on my calendar. I also tried mybackup root but it didn't restore some apps and others that it did restore had force closure issues.
I like the backup from cwr, is there way to only save apps?

Usually, I just use nandroid. If you want to backup your apps, though, I am pretty sure that titanium backup does that.
I should have edit my original post, i meant to say that it didn't fully restore my data, like the dates on my touch calendar.
I do usually just make a nandroid but im planning to flash froyo so need just my apps and data.

Ti usually does a pretty good job, that being said I use Astro to backup apps and associated data. Astro will backup Ti also so you can avoid having to go to market for Ti after flash ...also Ti will not backup itself, Astro will.
Thanks i'll try that out.

I have had great success using Titanium backup. Apps and data restore flawlessly. An occasional nandroid backup (from within ClockworkRecovery) is also great to do.

Correct Way To Backup APK+APK data?

So what is the EXACT way to backup APK's and its data? The last time I used MyBackup Root, it caused force close on the restored APKs so I had to manually restore by replacing the data/data folders. Long story short, it was a lot of work and I want a backup way that will actually work. I only need to backup APK+Data. Stuff like application settings (ie GPS maps/locatons), game data, etc. So what is an app that will do this and will work for sure.
Thanks
I have always used titanium backup pro & never had a problem

Best app for ROM backup/recovery

Hi
I got a cheap LG GT540 a wee while back and now I want to try and install a more recent version of Android (I currently have version 2.1 installed). I think I understand how to do this but the biggest concern I have is that my phone gets bricked and I have to reinstall. The tutorials I have encountered are mostly over a year old and I want to be certain that I can backup the whole image on my phone and recover it. I would be grateful if you could please confirm what the current best ROM Backup/recovery app to do this?
The best way if via Nandroid backups from your recovery.
(On CWM Recovery: Backup&Restore->Backup or Backup&Restore->Restore)
A Nandroid will give you a full image of everything, Titanium Backup will allow you to pick and choose what you do or don't restore. For both you need a rooted device.
Yeah, with Titanium Backup you can backup/restore the apps and settings you want. It´s very useful if you went to another ROM like MIUI or so.
I always use CWM recovery and Titanium Backup. Safe and sound
I just use a nandroid back up.
Titanium back up can extract bits from a nandroid backup as well.
in the play store u can even get apps backing up ur call lists and sms
Thanks everybody for replying.
I had problems trying to backup ROM, got impatient and finally managed to upgrade to CyanogenMod v6. It wasn't the strategy I had in mind but finally got there in the end!!
My Backup Pro is a good application!!
+1 for Titanium Backup
CWM is what I always use.
CWM is the best...
some app can't restored with titanium backup...
I usually just use the Nandroid backup inside CWM.
I am also using titanium backup (paid version), but I am told not to restore the system data of the previous ROM after updated to a new ROM, because the system data of the previous ROM will cause instability to the new ROM.
I am doing automated backups with Titanium (paid version), and I also make nandroid backup every now and then.
Can Anyone give me the .apk link of a backup/restory app? I looked for one in the play store..but they all are paid..I want to root..but dont have a credit card..please help

I'm also using the titanium backup, but you need the pro version to access some features. I'm satisfied with it.
So I must buy it? There is no free rooting and back up/restoring app? Is Titanium the best one?

[Q]Restoring app+data only from backup in a new ROM

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

You can simply backup your apps and data via TB and
After installing a new ROM just restore APP+DATA via TB... best way to sort and backup and restore apps individually :thumbup:

On some clockworkmod versions you can do an advanced restore and just choose data. Never tried it but maybe give it a shot

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.
