If you created a backup via twrp or titanium it's quite easy to get back your saves. They're usually stored along with other data in /data/data/name.of.app
If you restore that, they will more than likely come back. If you're restoring from TWRP, then it's nothing more than a tar file which you can open in WinRAR, 7-zip, or any other qualified archiver. I'm not sure if the newest TWRP (1.1?) stores backups in this way since it does them a bit different and aren't compatible with previous versions, but it is worth a try!

I have used titanium backup and mybackup pro and my games usually fail the license check and need to be re downloaded.

Some games store their data on your microSD card.
Oh I see thanks man

I don't plan to switch phones anytime soon, but it would be good to know for the future.
Is there a way to transfer the data from apps from one Android to another? This is especially useful for games with saved data inside the phone, such as Angry Birds or Temple Run.

You can use the application titanium backup, the paid version sports bulk operationand us Hyatt want you need, although it's not recommended to use it across Android versions
Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
Or MyBackup. Backup all your appa and it will create a folder on your sdcard with all your applications u backed up!
The savefiles is not available for every games, just some games futures savefiles that are on the sdcard also. You just have to check if your games got savefiles (try searching for the game name on the sdcard and see if there is some extra files).

I really appreciate your help too!
I have a touchpad with Honeycomb on it currently. I am trying to figure out where an apps saved data is stored. Is there a specific spot?
Thanks
It depends on the app. Some store in /data, others on the sdcard, others in the cloud. You probably want to look into something like Titanium Backup to backup and restore your apps and data.

Is there a way to edit the backup data file?
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 was wondering how do multiple ROM users switch between roms so fast. It seems so slow for me to always reinstall apps, login and password, for each rom. Even using Titanium with just data is slow because you need to spend time to reload apps.
Are people just using nandroid backups to switch and taking a new nandroid when there is a ROM update?
Just wondering how you guys do it.
Thanks.
Do you have titanium pro? You can restore apps, all in a row without having to tap buttons in between each app

Titanium Backup Pro is your answer my friend. Also a lot of apps allow you to save/restore your settings. For example, I use Nova Launcher and I can save my desktop configuration, so when I switch to a new ROM, I'll first reinstall Titanium Backup and use it restore my apps in one fell swoop, and then I restore my Nova settings which restores my home screens, widgets, shortcuts, app drawer options, etc. Finally in the Messages app, I can restore my text messages.
That and I'm a big OCD nerd who enjoys starting over from scratch, so even without all these shortcuts it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to me. That's just me, though.

I had read on some threads before that the best way is to save on data on Titanium and then reinstall your app from appstore then restore data only. Is this true cause that is what I would do but still took forever to restore apps from the Play Store.
Do people run roms from nandroid backups and just update the rom when needed?

I back up both the app and the app data and I restore the app and the app data together, all using Titanium Backup. I don't touch the Play Store at all unless I'm getting a brand new app, or if I've lost/corrupted one of my backups somehow.
If a restored app gives me trouble (very rarely), then I will uninstall the app, and then restore only the app without the data.
I don't know what you mean by "run ROMs from nandroid backups." A nandroid backup is like a system restore point on your computer. Like a snapshot in time of your ROM and never changes. So after you make or restore a nandroid backup and install even one app it will be different than your backup copy.
What you are using right now is your "system ROM" or "live" ROM if you will. Nandroid backups are just checkpoints you can activate again (restore) if your system ROM breaks or you made a change you want to undo.
Some people have more than one favorite ROM. So they will install a ROM, set it up to their liking, then make a nandroid of it. Then install a different ROM, set that one up, and make a nandroid of THAT. By doing this, one can quickly jump back and forth between multiple ROMs by simply restoring the appropriate nandroid. Having a bunch of nandroids can take up a lot of space, and if you don't rename or organize your nands it could get confusing!
Hopefully this answers your question?

Is there any way to back up Google Apps data? I have 4 gmail accounts and it takes time to have to set them up each time.
System apps generally perform poorly from data restore and can actually affect the overall performance of rom. Gapps are considered system apps so I wouldn't count on restore. I've never actually tried it though
Only app I back up is my texts.... I do clean install each time.

Backup "Accounts" in Titanium Backup. It will save your accounts and passwords, then all you have to do is set up the apps again. I haven't had issues with TBP and backing up system apps yet, but I know it's not recommended.

I have titanium pro, but have not had to wipe data yet. Does the option to restore all apps and/or data come up? Been unable to find it in settings or preference. Little help would be appreciated.

I've seen various issues with people using Titanium backup for settings, creating all types of issues with new roms. Anyone have any thoughts on that? I also want to be able to restore everything faster from ROM to ROM, but am hesitant to use Titanium.

Settings and system apps are generally not good to restore across roms. I've been using titanium for about 3 years now for user app/data and hardly have any issues.

i switch roms like crazy and im runing cm10 right now im running it on a clean install so far only thing ive restored is XDA so i dont have to login and subscribe to threads again but other than that i dont restore anything else
I use system tuner pro. It has an option to restore apps and widgets to where they were on your home screens so you don't have to set it all up again. You can also back up or restore everything all at once with a 'one-click' option.

If you use similar roms you can just format the system without affecting the data. But still it is better to reinstall everything. Also use titatium backup for all your apps and my backup root for your personal stuff. I change roms allot. Doesn't take too long.

Titanium pro backs up all your accounts so u don't have to sign in with them all again. It also backs up texts, call logs, and WiFi access points.
Only thing I haven't figured out is for it to backup your home screens like some of the other apps listed.
