Will anything bad happen if I backup my SDCards (internal and external) to my computer and erase everything but the Titanium Backup folder and install a new rom?
Will I run into any complications with the new rom install? I am going from Stock to Axura 2.25.9?
Most likely yes because some apps have folders and if you delete them then they MIGHT not work properly.
I've never run into an issue formatting my internal and external sd completely. Backup all your files you want to keep to your pc. Including your titanium folder. Format your storage through your phone. Flash the rom of your choice. Restore your files to your phone, including the titanium folder. Titanium will still see the folder and you will be able to restore the previously backed up apps. If those restored apps had data folders on your sd, the apps will rebuild the folders they require when you launch them.

If I recover with xRec, will I loose pix and other things on SD card?
I have some apps/games on the SD card but I'm more worried about pix and other data files
Short answer: no. However, some apps will remove their data/will refuse to read from sd (Like Tap Tap Revenge 4) when reinstalled, so remember to restore the app's data/data partition to ensure that they work properly.
How do I do that?
I had zedge and copied the folder to my computer and after formatting sdcard and re-installing everything, I put that folder back but it's not recognized. I guess zedge had a way to detect backups but now it doesn't.
As long as my pix/songs are safe, I'm ok to flash/restore I guess.

Try using titanium backup (backup root if you're rooted) to restore your app/data after restoring using xrec. Don't restore data using xrec. only use it to restore full rom backup.
i have backed up the apps i would like to with titanium back up..
most of my apps and their titanum backups are on my sd card..
i want to format my sd card but im worried about losing my pics, apps (possibly titanium itself) and maybe xrecovery..
pics and other files are easy to backup.. (simply to a computer)
but is there a quick and safe way to format sd card without losing xrecovery and app backups that i previously backed up with titanium?

Copy everything you need from the card.
A format will always wipe the card clean.
Xrecovery is stored in the phones NAND.. and not on the SD.
Backups made in Xrecovery are stored on the SD.
I just restored a nandroid I had and all the apps I had moved to the sd were missing. Is there a way to correct this or do they have to be in the phone storage to be included in the backup? Of course I had everything in TiB, but that's not the same. When I do a nandroid I expect it be exactly the way I left it.
a nandroid backup usually includes the system, data, and boot images. user apps are usually installed on the data partition, but if you chose to move apps to your sd card via application settings then it would not be backed up.
Ok. so i was thinking about installing some custom roms and using them for a few days weeks to see how they perform but i was wondering what the best way to back up my apps/data and contacts would be so they can easily be restored after i have installed a new rom.
I dont have a memory card for my phone so i just have the 16gb internal memory so if i use an app that saves the backup to my phone would i just transfer the backup data from my phone to pc then after i have factory reset/wiped the cache and dalvik and intalled the rom put the backup file back on?
Also is there anything i NEED to back up on the phone or is it just the stuff i want like app data and contacts?
Thanks.
titanium backup
thank you.
Because i will be factory reseting the phone before i install the new rom will i need to move the titanium backup from my phone to computer?
will the reset and wipe delete the backup?
Use as said titanium for data and apps and gmail for contacts sync. You can copy the titanium files to your computer just in caseto be safe.

Just remember that if you wipe sd and you don't have external, then you won't have a Rom to flash to so you will be left with choice of either pushing the zip to sd with ADB, or flashing stock/rerooting/cwm/etc
R: Best way to backup?
Yeah man try to keep it simple...
just make a full backup with titanium backup pro (set backup folser to external sd card or just move the backup to the sd card when its done) it will require a lot of space if u had a lot of apps...
Flash all you want and put the new rom on the phone.
Then remember to have the titanium backup apk ready on your sdcard to be installed when ure done setting up the new rom(or go get it back off the play store if you wish), then install titanium and restore from the backup folder...simple

1. Titanium Backup
2.Carbon
3.My Backup Pro
4.Nandroid backup from recovery if you ever want to go back to an old rom.
heya, i just installed the new fxp on my ultra, and i thought i had backed up my litecoin wallet on my sd card, but then when i went to go look for the file, i couldnt find it, so it must of been still on the internal storage, does anyone know of a good free program that might be able to recover files,
cheers
Have a look with root explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer and look through the internal and external storage.
If you do not find anything, try unmount the sdcard and mount the card in a computer and view hidden files, what do you find?
If you running a rom you can start:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster
This will collect anything removed and you can either remove it forever or restore the file accidently removed. This is only for when running a rom, not if you wipe data etc when flashing a rom
And always do a nandroid backup from CWM if you not sure if the rom you flashing is working or not. It might not backup personal files but rather the whole rom and apps with its stored data
Your nandroids is stored in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/
Hi,
I have a problem with Titanium Backup who doesn't detect/load my backups.
I've used it on my 5.1.1 Z2 with kingroot with no problems. After downgraded >rooted> installed recovery and flashed new roms it installed, gain root acces but didn't detect my backups wich are located in TiBu folder.
I've flashed stock 5.1.1 rom again and rooted with kingroot and problem persists.
Any ideea?
Thanks!
Try setting up your backup folder location manually, go to titanium backup menu/settings --> preferences --> backup folder location
If your backups are on internal memory the default storage provider - filesystem storage should work fine but if your backups are on the external sd card you should change the storage provider to documentprovider storage, choose the root of your external sd in the windows that opens, then choose the correct backup folder in titanium.
As long as your backups are not corrupt this should fix your problem.
Hi, i did try to set the backup location folder and i see there the backups but the app do not load the backups.
It's very annoying. Is there any other app that cand manage TiBu files?
Create backup in internal storage. Copy your backup files from external to same internal location. Enable dev options. Untick 'mount namespace seperation' in SuperSU settings. Deny TiBu root access. Re install TiBu and grant access.
I've solved the problem.
I think all the files were corrupted. I had a copy of backups in my PC and those file worked just fine. The backups were on the SD card and maybe it was unmounted successfully.
Thanks for all the help!
It's titanium's fault. After installing the newest version it didn't detect any backups. After downgrading everything worked fine.
