Tnx for reply! I've already tried Titanium but was very unsattisfied with it! Didn't even have a decent restore option and lots of errors

i haven't found the perfect solution yet.
i'm using titanium backup for the apps, call logs backup & restore for the call logs, sms backup & restore for the messages and bookmark backup & restore for the bookmarks

I use my backup pro. its a paid app but there is a trial available. its very good imo

Use windows mobile device center--> there you can tell him, what to sync.
Contacts, Pictures, Storage card, etc.

On an Android phone?

Sprite Mobile has a program for Android phones. Works perfectly just like Sprite Backup does for WM. It backs up and restores everything. It's a paid app. Ususally $4.99 but they are having a special for only .99
hxxp://www.spritesoftware.com/products/android
Now if they only come out with one for the Pre I can rest easy.

Does the Sprite Mobile backup also the applications?
I want a complete storage backup solution.
I want to be able to backup data (PIM, apps, settings, htc sense icons, etc) from android 1.6 and restore on android 2.1
Thanks

From their website:
What Third Party applications are supported in Application Settings?
Currently we support the following application settings.
HTC Twitter
HTC Footprints (including photo and audio)
HTC Plurks
aTrackDog
StreamFurious
aHome
Note Everything

So from the looks of it it doesn't support all applications just yet and I can't verify because I only backed up a fresh install with only contacts and system settings changed. I know there is a update coming soon but I don't know what is included in it. I would guess that eventually the Android version will mimick the WM version and be able to back up everything.

It doesn't back up the apps themselves because that is not needed. After you have reinstated your phone you log on using your Google account and password and Market re downloads those apps you has before.

@klbjr thanks
@peterc10 some apps are not avaiable on market.. I've installed them with Astro

All data on the phone is, SD card is fine, so pics and videos should be fine.
I've used Titanium for the apps, which in most cases also restores the settings too.
I use google sync, so Contacts are synced as soon as I add my google account to the phone (not sure how the other sync methods work for contact)
Finally, for SMSs I used the SE backup and restore app, and just chose SMS. there is an option for apps on there too, but I haven't used it.
Then, once 2.1 is installed, root, install busybox then use titanium to restore apps (don't restore system settings, as that caused me an issue with WiFi, app setting are fine though), then you will have all of your apps back, then open SE's backup and restore and choose to restore the backup you made earlier for texts
Contacts were auto for me, and photos and other SD contents will need no restoring at all, just view!
Copy and paste for my media files and SD card, and I used gmail and MyPhoneExplorer for my contacts. Titanium should do your apps and settings for them, but being a whole OS I just started from scratch with them.

[Q] App for backup

let me know how can i make backup in my wildfire?
Can you suggest me a good free application?
Is there a back up option via an htc software ?
Thanks
If you are rooted, nandroid backup (full backup) or titanium backup,(apps+settings etc).
You can use HTC sync as well.

how can you do a backup on a non rooted phone? I dont want to risk botching the rooting process when/if I get round to it, ive seen backup options in astro file manager but no sure how they work??
You can't do a Rom backup without root.
Root is all automated, very unlikely it will break as long as you keep it charged and don't need about.
You can backup apps using app monster but not settings I believe.
Sync with Google and HTC sync to do contacts etc.

Thanks, I'll try to find monster on the market before I try rooting. Probably still wait a while till I get bored with the stock system.

I use Sprite Backup to backup my wildfire.
Easy and you can backup contacts, settings of your phone, photos, messages ect ect!

Hi,
You can try "MyBackupPro" for backing up your complete phone. If you cannot find the app in the Market, try searching for .apk from 4shared.com and install it on your phone. It works like charm.

[Q] - Recommendation for a Backup & Restore App

Having always rooted my phones I never had an issue backing up apps and data via Titanium backup but am now looking for a solution to back up apps and their data on my non-rooted Z2.
Having just flashed the latest Z2 firmware via Flashtool which wipes the phone, I've restored backups I had made with Sonys Back Up and Restore app only to find it didn't backup all it said it did, so had a number of apps and data missing.
Can anyone recommend a solution to this

I was in the same boat as yourself, Ive found a good one is HELIUM, plus helium will state what apps don't have a backup option coded into them so unlike sonys own app u wont be annoyed when some apps do/don't backup Also Helium allows cloud backups as well as internal and external sd card backups
Im currently using helium for apps and Mybackup pro for my text message backups as I found heliums message backups were weirdly in the opposite date order to normal use( instead of latest being at bottom of list it was at top)
Thanks mate, will give Helium a try

Just confiming, does Hellium doesnt back up the app data like TB?
I know ive read somewhere there is an app by chainfire for app and data backup for non rooted but at first glance it seem a bit long winded so never bothered with it.
I used easy backup which restored my apps, sms, mms, call log etc all no probs but yeah problem was no data backed up so had to set them all up like email, settings etc all over again.
I understand Unlocking and Rooting an Xperia is a tough task. But the stock ROM is good enough.
A good article here. It helped me and it may help you too buddy.

well your not gonna get the same level of backup due to lack of root, but for me it saved things like game progression(i.e angry birds) but didn't save things like custom widget sets in HD widgets app. But not the end of the world.
Ive started looking at my backups a bit more in detail and asking do I really need a backup of some apps, as some are just install-login to app and use no custom data to speak of to really backup. Or other apps like XDA app and game progression which have custom settings and progression Id like to save.

bro, Last time I used Helium is when it was called Carbon, I tried it with Xperia S and it didn't worked at all, after that I saw this in it's description in Play Store
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

I lost hope after that, so does it work now on Z2 ?
I'm still not in a hurry to have Z2 as there's still no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, and I will not unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition first ( which requires root )... so I've been looking for a way to copy some of my app's data from my old phone to Z2, I used to use Titanium Backup always but you know, no root = no TB...
so can you confirm please that you used Helium to backup AND restore app's data to the Z2 ? or you're just guessing from a non-xperia experience ?

I used helium to backup my apps on my s3 then install them on my z2, ive also backedup up my current apps on my z2 since, but like ive already said helium cant backup certain apps as the app developer hasn't allowed backup function. Helium did the job for me for my game progression and a few apps where I wanted current setup saved.

[Q] Samsung Lies restore

I plan on resting my phone due to growing problems but does Samsung lies fully restore your phone? Restore Ex. Downloaded and Pre-Installed Apps original state, restore contacts, keep you you device id and system settings(WiFi passwords, accounts)
You mean Samsung Kies, right?
I know it won't restore some of your app data, for example the progress made in some game app.
But it backs up and restores photos, SMS, ... Etc. Download and install Samsung kies on your PC and you will see what options it gives you in the program.
I personally don't rely on it to restore my app data, and back up/restore the app data using ADB.

Nandroid Backup and Titanium Backup are both good, reliable apps.
anything that doesnt require root?

The Best Way To Backup & Restore Data

Hey
Im using Custom Roms now for over a year, but i always have one problem with restoring data.
I mostly use the Google Feature, that restores all your apps. But all the time i have to login in every app again and again. I mostly als make a Titanium Backup, but when i restore these over the preinstalled apps some apps crash or on Lineage OS the whole System was unusable. I also make a TWRP backup, restoring is not always possible when you switch to another Rom.
I also dont own Titanium Backup Pro, so autoinstalling dont work.
How do you restore apps + data ?
What guide did i miss ?
Thanks in advance
move up.
I 'm also interested which app for backup is recommend.
I know oandbackup and TitaniumBackup.
Till know I only tried oandbackup but there are several problems. Backup to SD-Card doesn't work. Also to internal storage the backup was complete but only a few MB big but should have a lot more.

After letting Google install all the apps just restore data from titanium, NOT app+data. Also, if you do this often just buy titanium. You spend so much money on the phone and titanium also works on all your future phones. It really saves you a lot of time and is well worth the money.
Titanium is the answer , it is feature packed as hell.
Also if you want to use a different android version backup to another version (Like from 9 to 10), you can always just restore the Data, it works for me always.
You can let google download all your previous apps in android 10 and then restore only data from Titanium, you can obviously batch select the apps to restore.

About the best way to Backup & Restore Data on Xiaomi phone, if there is a computer, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Assistant. It's easy and safe. You just need to connect your Xiaomi phone to computer via usb cable, enable usb debugging on it. A deep scan later, you can take backup of your Xiaomi phone with 1-click. After that, you can use it restore data from backup directly.
