How can I back up everything on my phone, settings, email accounts, apps, ringtone and notification settings, music, etc..etc... and then restore them to the new phone?
I use my backup pro. There are many apps that can do this. I've used this app for a while and it works flawless. I recommend saving your back up on to your ext micro sd cards. So you won't loose your back up on the wipe. Once restored, go to the app store download my backup pro and restore.

Is there any way to back it up to my PC?

If you use mybackup pro and have root, it'll backup to your SD card and then you just copy to your comp. It goes in a folder called reware I think it was.
Then put it back and restore on the new phone.

I rooted my Photon, installed Titanium Backup and backed the phone up to my sd card. Today, i exchanged my Photon for another Photon.
Do I need to root the new phone in order to backup using Titanium?
I guess what I'm getting at is that if the phone needs to be rooted again, it would seem there's no on the fly solution to immediately backing up the phone. I'd have to re-root the phone which means having my laptop handy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
How do you guys do it?
Thanks again.

Yes you need to root again. I havw tried titanium unrooted and it says it wont work. The only one i ever got to work without having root was mybackup pro but you have to buy the app when restoring to new device when using mybackup pro. Not much info but hope it helps.

You don't need the laptop to root.

I have a broken-screen Photon and want to use TB to restore to my new Photon.
New Photon is rooted, but TB will not see all my elements. It don't think it's seeing any of my downloaded apps & data.
Any advice on what I need to do? I just want my new Photon to be like my old Photon.

I've tried everything that I can possibly think of, with no luck.
I did a fresh app only save and that didn't work. New phone would not see the apps to restore.
I can't figure out how to get my app saves off my old phone to be recognized by TB on the new phone. Do I need to download all the apps from the market? Do I need to factory reset the new phone and start over?
This is really starting to drive me crazy. It doesn't seem like it should be this difficult.

I now have a suspicion that y new phone is not reading my SD card correctly. It's not seeing all my pictures or videos. I've unmounted and remounted the card but no change.
Continually confused.
Try moving your titanium folder to internal storage and see what happens

This was the key (I hope, at least). I realized I was using the internal storage SD mount for my saves. I changed the directory to sd-ext and created a new folder there to perform the app & data save.
It's working through a restore right now, but I may be close.

Chalk this up to inexperience. I was backing up to the internal SD, not the external. Once I restated to external, it worked pretty well. Now just some tweaking to be done.
Thanks all for your help!
I just joined the root game with the purchase of the Rezound so i never learned how to backup and restore things. i just installed titanium backup and kinda backed everything up, took the files off of the sd card and put them back on and restored them when i flashed a new rom.
Now i heard about this method were you create an update.zip folder to flash in recovery and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this?
I thought it only installed titanium but I dont know. I will say this I run my backups on a schedule every night at 2 am everyday. I use force redo of backups. Then I know I'm backed up. I also sync that to my dropbox.

Ding ding ding. Drop box works great for this purpose. Then, if your internal/ext. Storage gets erased, you will always have it at your disposal.

Just so you don't have regrets later, just get in the habit of only backing up the user apps. If you jump roms you could run into some issues restoring system apps. Done there, been that

May want to look into MyBackup root, if all you're interested in is app backup. I have found it to be a little faster and it's free version allows "silent" restoring of apps.
I rooted my new galaxy sIII in hopes of using titanium backup to restore the apps off my old htc evo 4g. On the new phone the apps don't show up when I try to batch restore...
Any Idea how to get this to work?

did you put your old sd card in your new phone?
I have the feeling that titanium is searching your phone's internal memory rather than sd card for your backups.

In titanium, press menu the preferences. Scroll down to backup location. Find where you have them stored and they will show

That is correct, a lot of the apps search the 'sd card' but it won't automatically search the external sd card, the user supplied one.
Question's been answered, but I want to mention: be careful when restoring data like contacts and messaging. That's what I did that required a couple of factory resets to fix.
User installed apps restore just fine, as you would think. Even Swype, which surprised me.
All I restore is missing apps w/data

I have a drop box acct. Can I back up straight to DB or do I need another app to make that happen?
Is there a better way than Drop Box?

You can then link it to a folder in your dropbox using the PC dropbox client.
As well I think my backup root can do a backup to the cloud if you register a login.

Are you trying to back up a handful of apk's or the whole rom?
If you just one or two apk's and you have root, use a file manager to copy the .apk to your internal storage or sd card then you can upload them in the dropbox app.
If you want the whole rom, check out Orange Backup, you can schedule auto backups and have them uploaded to your dropbox account automatically.
If you just want to back up apps to your ext sd card AppMonster Pro is great. It can automatically back them up when you download them. Then when you want to restore them you can install either from AppMonster or from Market, it asks you. It's really easy on the eyes finding an app you want to install from your back up and you always have all the ones you've downloaded. It's helped me go back to an older version of an app several times.
Im currently on hyperdrive 7 and was looking to flash a different rom to try out, but neither rom toolbox pro or tibu will allow me to backup apps and data. I usually use rom toolbox pro, but when I try to backup app+data, it just starts failing every app. I tried tibu again just to see if the problem was rtp, but it will only restore the app without data. Most stuff I dont mind losing data on, but I have a few games and other things I dont want to start from scratch on. Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you successfully backed up and restored these before?
On rls6 I was able to restore everything and backup before moving to 7. When I got to 7, my apps would restore, but no data with them.

Check the backup/restore folder path. It may have changed.

My usual backup location is on my external sdcard, and it doesnt work there. I tried using internal too, and it failed as well. Typically, its set to extsdcard/app_manager but thats a no go.

Did you backup rls6 before install rls7,if you have a backup try to restore a backup.and maybe that fix your problem..

I swear Titanium backup with the pro key..... 6 bucks.... but WELL FREAKING WORTH THOSE 6 BUCKS.... I promise you... you wont be sorry if you get this app... go youtube.com and search the channel wwjoshdew and look up his video titled "Titanium Backup Pro: Full In-Depth Review!" he explains very extremely thoroughly. You wont be sorry.

He already has the app.
Maybe make sure TiBU has SU access?
I did make a backup of rls6 when I flashed rls7, but have deleted it due to thinking everything was fully functional and trying to save space.
Also, I have titanium backup pro, purchased it a couple years ago but have found rtp to be more reliable. Both have superuser permissions.
Thank you all for your help, I think im just gonna have to bite the bullet and start from scratch again.

I love titanium backup for backing up my Apps and I use the nandroid in TWRP for backing up my complete ROM. when I screw up and get into a no boot problem, I can boot to TWRP and do a complete restore
