I went from HTC Desire to this Motorola Attic bad boy.
There are a few apps with data I want copied over, which I backed up on my Desire. I rooted my Atrix. But it doesn't see my backups.
Is it even possible to do this, or are my backups only compatible with the Desire, or what?

i brought my backups from my captivate over to my atrix. some of the apps didnt carry over the settings, but that wasnt a big deal. did you copy your titaniumbackup folder from the old phone to the new phone?
When you copy the backup files to the new phone, there is an option in titanium to reset the application...this will find the files and allow backup

Yep. You could also get the pro version that allows you dropbox backup.

Very confused. I am having the same problem. I got a new phone today (upgraded from G2 to G2x)
I inserted my old SD card, rooted my phone, installed TBUpro (latest from market,) went to backup/restore and there are no backups there. I tried restoring all apps and data anyway. It said it was successful. But nothing changed on my new phone. (Of course I rebooted and verified the SD card is being read.)
All of my backups are in the default folder of the SD card where TBUpro placed them (with the old phone.) I'm supposed to copy them somewhere else?
For now I've given up and am having App Brain reinstall all of my apps, and Google restore my personal info. I'd still love to have my system settings and whatnot restored by TBU though. WTF?

I just saw that too..
I brought most of my apps over from my MT3GS with TiBu. The only one I really had an issue with was Angry Birds, no matter how I restored it, it would force close. I'm thinking some kind of architecture difference.
Also watch what cross platform system settings you restore. I finally figured out restoring my old wireless ap info is what b0rked my wifi.
Hi... the phone needs to be rooted, but also needs sideloading enabled.

Yes, or change the backup location by pressing menu, preferences. Use detect to locate sdcard-ext this is the removable micro sd card.

This did it. You need to go inside Titanium Backup. hit MENU key -> Backup Folder location --> Hit the DETECT! button. Then choose the desired location (it will you all the backup locations available.)

Hello,
I currently have a rooted amaze running stock ROM. Looking flashing custom ROM and hopefully ICS soon. However, I am wondering about the best way to do this without losing info and data that is needed or I want on both my internal sd card and my external sd card.
I believe if I do all the wipes and factory resets and flash process, nothing on the external sd card is touched?
However, not sure about the internal sd card.
I have also not restored installed apps from Titanium back up before so I am also curiously how to ensure I can do this after installing a new ROM and don't want that data lost in the process.
Any information or instructions you can provide on what to do to protect the info, data, and apps that I should during this process would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much

I used mybackup pro to back up my apps, my apps' data, my pictures, contacts, phone settings, and phone data. Once you wipe and erase everything, and you flash a new ROM and kernel, just reinstall MBUP and restore your info. I think titanium does it too, I've just never liked the app's UI

I'd like to ask since you have MBUP experience. When I did the wipe, root and flash and then re-installed MBUP, it wouldn't/couldn't see the previous back-ups even though I could navigate to them using Root Explorer. I just assumed it was because it was a new/different ROM so the back-ups wouldn't work. Is that not true? Did I simply set something up incorrectly? I ask because I'd like to try some other ROMs, even though I always came back to and primarily used Energy ROMs with my TP2, but the set-up after flashing a different Windows ROM was a pain. But if back-ups for one Android ROM should work for another Android ROM, that'd be great!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Once I reinstall the app and hit restore, it usually just works. Where is your backup located when you use root explorer? It should be on your external SD card I think. Did you do a NANdroid backup before you wiped and flashed? You might want to recover that and try again maybe...

I'm using RerWare MyBackupPro. It looks like the original back-ups were on the internal SD card (I can still see them using RootExplorer - all of them pre-root and flash). I don't remember re-configuring MBUP, but it now places the back-ups on the external sd card (so I must have).
I'm not familiar with NANdriod backup, but I'll look into it. You prefer this over something like MyBackupPro?

Before flashing ANYTHING, while in Recovery, go to backup and create a backup there. It's in case you mess anything up, you can go back to when your phone worked properly. Every dev puts this suggestion in their original post.
It's different than the app mybackup pro. I use the same one by rerware. That's used to backup apps and data while the nandroid backs up your system

Do you want to just backup your sd card? If so all you have to do is plug it in and click disk drive and it will pop up as if it's a jump drive. Make a folder and copy your contents in that folder and you're good. Also HTC storage will pop up too, if you have anything in there back that up in another folder and you should be good. Just make sure to eject both and not just disconnect it.

Will backing up the SD card backup my contancts and apps and stuff or will that all be on the phones internal memory?

No, it won't. But your contacts should be synced to your google account and you can just redownload your apps.
MyBackup kinda works without root, but not well.
Before I sent my phone off for repair I did a full backup of Apps and Data. Now my phone is back and I'm trying to restore but am unclear how to do this. In TB I don't see anywhere that allows me to choose to restore from where I backed up to. What am I missing?

I hope you still have the backups created by titanium backup with you... Because there is a very good probability that when u sent your phone for repair they formatted everything... If not
Open TB app, press the menu key and open batch option.
In the restore column there wud be an option to restore you apps.... If not then the backups have been deleted!!! You will have to manually install them again... Srry

TiB backs up to /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup so you must have the SDCard you originally backed up to inserted or it won't know where to look.

From "Preferences", set your "Backup folder location" to the folder having your old backups. After that, go to "Backup/Restore" tab. Now, you can find all of those old backup entries. Either restore them individually or use "Batch" from menu.
That's it!
Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for - thanx!

I'm not too sophisticated in all this stuff, not sure if/how to do this. I have a rooted Droid Razr Maxx, stock ROM (wanted to be able to tether without monthly fee). When I upgraded from my original Droid, I copied the sd and put the new one in the Razr. This sort of worked, but left the new 32gb card partitioned, with 8gb read as "sd card", the rear as "ext-sd card". The 8gb filled quickly, and I can't download much, even though I have a lot of space on the card. I have been backing up with Titanium Backup, hoping I can use it to fix this. I also purchased a Sandisk 64gb card, which I read (and it claims on the package) is comparable/formatted foe Android. Can I use the 64gb card, then put everything back with TB (and how)? Do I have to reformat the 32gb card instead, then get everything back on it with TB (and how)? Or do I just have to redownload apps, copy media to PC, then replace, without an easy route through TB? I'd appreciate any help, thanks.
So I replaced my Droid Charge with the RAZR and rooted it. I got titanium backup and still had all my old backup files in my SD card. Under the same folder "Titanium Backup" but it doesn't show them there in the app. Tried refreshing and all that. How do I get my old backups?

You need to specify which folder that Titanium Backup should use for it's backups.
Menu -> Settings -> Path to backup (Not sure as to what it says since I don't have english language)
I did that, still won't see my old backups.

Is TiBU looking at the right sdcard partition?
There can be a TiBU folder on both partitions. They are "sdcard" and "sdcard-ext" sdcard-ext is the actual physical sd card. sdcard is partitioned built-in storage. Or copy the folder over to the other card.
^^What he said^^
TiBu wants to backup and restore from my phones Sd card rather than the external so to restore after a reset I always have go into settings and redirect the path too the external

Sorry to butt in, but this happens to be in the field of my problem too. I wanted to flash a ROM yesterday, but also knew that TiBu provided the option to flash an 'update.zip' file with all your backups to eliminate the long restore process, can anyone confirm the exact approach to doing this with safestrap 3.05?
I searched the forums and I don't see anything sorry if I missed it. Is there a work around to save apps to sd card? Tried updating some apps and phone is telling me insufficient storage. Thanks for your help in advance. I have it set to go to sd card but when I got to where the apps are to move or what have you there is nothing to move to sd.

Apps to sd card?
Anyone have any ideas how to get apps to sd card tried deleting some apps due to insufficient space (can't even update a app) deleted 3 apps and still can't download Folder Mount as suggested. Any help would be much appropriated as I am stuck can't update apps or install like this. Did I miss a work around in the OP?
How bad is your storage situation? In terms of MB available?
Also, do you already have Titanium Backup installed? If so, just back up a bunch of apps to your SD card, delete the installs, and then restore from the backups after you've got Folder Mount running and your storage cleared up.

As a reminder, the "/mnt/sdcard" device is INTERNAL memory on this phone. You want to move your apps to /mnt/extSdCard, which is the microsd slot.
I've never tried it, but pretty sure I saw an option in Titanium Backup to move app to sd.

Ok never mind. That isn't going to work. I can't download folder mount that is kind of my problem. out of space when I have plenty. as shown in the screen shots. So basically I am going to have to wipe everything and use my titanium backup to restore apps? I have a feeling even if I erase all of the apps it will still say that as I have so much storage free(internal). Sigh

I haven't pulled the battery oddly enough..(you would think that I would have done that first)... I will try that when I get home as it is in a otterbox case and I am at work and it's a pain to get out. As far as ME7 Builds go last I heard once you flash to a ME7 build you would be stock on ME7. Which I am not trying to do. I am happy with touchwhiz at the moment. Not really into the plain dark look as it is just that to plain for me. Which Rom where you suggesting that you can revert back to a MDK build with? I have a nandroid already. But I tried deleting apps to see if if would let me download it and all it does is delete that app and I can't put the app i just took off back on. With all the storage available. Just kind of baffled that no one has really ran into this. I have TWRP on it now. I might switch it to 4EXT Recovery as it just has way more options.
1. Deleted apps no difference
2. Deleted Cache no difference (TWRP style wipe)
3. When I get off going to try and wipe Delv/Cach (see if that does anything)
4. If all else fails I will do a complete wipe and start with that app.(Even though you can just change the file destination in root explorer to go to sd card. There is also 2 places it stores on your phone you have a internal sd and a emulated storage. I believe this is wear the hang up is being caused.
Just seems strange that you are getting any type of error with the amount of internal storage you have available. When you get an app from tue store itsaves to your phones internal storage, which is not even close to being full. Also if you are rooted you can go back and forth between MDK and ME7 builds. Devs dont really mess with bootloaders when making roms...
