OK so installed new rom this morn. Last night I used TB to backup my apps. So install Tom and reinstall TB then transfer TB folder back to phone. Go into TB and run missing apps .. only thing is not all my apps show. Like engadget, friends caster,face book,twi, and etc. Another 38 of 60.
So I search in TB for TWI.. and this is what I get..(attatched pic)

Thanks.. phone listed in sig and rom is infused 2.2.3

I did that myself once as i decided to clean up my phone and to flash a new rom. I copied the existing Titanium Backup folder as it was to my PC. Then i removed all unwanted apps and then made a new backup, which i then used to restore my apps after flashing. Later i wanted some of my deleted apps back, so i renamed my new backup folder and copied the old one back to sd root. As i the opened Titanium all my old apps where there and i could restore the ones i wanted. Then to avoid problems i removed the old backup again, and renamed the new folder correctly.
All that worked.
Ill shoot for that when i get home. My only thing is i just swapped the folder after creating it to my sd card the installed Rom then swapped folder back to internal card. All was copied and not moved. So i still have last nights backup on sd card.

What's up with the pic i posted. The one without options.
The one that say "what would u like to do." normally there are boxes that ask app.app+data.

First off let me say if this is adressed in another thread or video, im sorry!
But my question is this: How does titanium backup work?
For example, if I run a full system recovery with TB and then flash the sbf file and then load gingerblur, can I then recover all of the settings and apps from titanium backup? If so, how might one go about doing that?
Another example would be, if I return my atrix for a new atrix for whatever reason, could I recover everything after that?
Thanks in advance for all your help guys!

When you start tibu press menu then batch, then select "backup all user apps" (I think its first). Let it run. Then you can run SBC and Ginger blur then install tibu from the market, open it press menu, batch, then go about 1/2 down to "restore missing apps with data" and start it and when its done you have all apps with settings back.
A also highly recommend buying tibu premium as it makes most of this automated.

Ok thanks for the reply! So titanium backup creates a recovery file on the phone that wont be erased and ill always be able to access it?
Also does it work if I get a new phone?

Yes, that would be my question as that is where I am.
I have the directory on my sdcard-ext; I've copied it to the empty directory of the same name on the sdcard yet I can't seem to get at any of my old backups.
What did I miss in the process? Is there a way to make it LOOK at this saved data?
Well I don't know about not being erased; the program backs up the application and all of its data into a folder. You can do single applications or all of them.
If you are say, resetting the phone or doing a factory reset, this is essential if you want all of your applications back the way you had them.
I'm using two phones and when I got my second, I just installed TB on it and backed up the apps that I wanted transfered wwith data (mostly games and things that don't have cloud data) and copied them to the new phone to be restored.
I just bought the pro version that gives access to dropbox and other things but I haven't used any of the features yet.

I believe TiBu's default location is in /sdcard/titaniumbackup (From root location). Now once you back up your apps all that information is stored in that "Titaniumbackup" folder. Now what you can do is copy that folder and where, even your computer and it's saved. You can even load that folder on a different phone and run TiBu on the phone and install the apps on that phone. Usually when you flash roms or even the SBF file it wont erase the internal SD card, at least I've never had an issue with my internal SD being erased in the last 2 years. Just take your titaniumbackup folder and put it on to you internal SD card and TiBu should recognize it no problem.
As far as how it saves it, I think it saves the .apk and it also saves another with the app settings.
Hope this helps clear some stuff up.
Ok cool, thank you very much for the help!

Any user guide out there for if you are replacing your phone with a new phone of the same kind andwhat to do in trying to getting everything onto the new?
I am replacing my broken htc thunderbolt with a new htc thunderbolt. I want everything to copy over, even the data in memory on the phone. I assume something can be done. I've searched the q/a forum briefly but thought i would just post a question.
I'm guessing your not rooted. If you are you can use titanium backup.
Otherwise you will be limited in your choices and you can't backup data. Use astro file manager to backup apps. sms backup and bookmarks sort and backup. That's all I know of. Also make sure your contacts are saved to google.

It's very easy especially if you just simply move your memory card from your old phone to new phone. You should backup your apps first though. I use Astro for that.

What does that mean ?
When I got my eris replaced, I nandroided the old one and flashed it back to stock before sending it back. Then I rooted my new eris and flashed my nandroid back.
Assuming your rooted and keeping the sd card from the broken phone, just insert old sd card in new phone, root, and restore nandroid backup. You'll be exactly where you left off.
Hello, I am not a noon or anything but I have a question for a senior member. The other day I had my phone wiped trying to go from toxic rom to muiu rom. I had backed up titanium folder and clockwork backup to my computer but it didn't seem easy to get back up and some of my recent appear weren't in titanium folder although I had just backed up to computer before putting new rom on.. what is the way a more experienced person would backup to make it easiest to restore later.. thanks

once u back up your apps with titanium just go into your files and look for the folder called "titaniumBackup" go inside that folder..then just copy all its contents to a folder in your computer. then next time if a rom wipes all your data then just put the contents you copied back into titaniumbackup folder and go to titanium app and restore. simple. well that how i always do it.

I'm going to be getting an S3 in the next few days and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to bring all my apps & settings from my one x with me? I have titanium backup pro.
Would I just back it up to sd card then load from Titanium once I get my S3?

Sure u can. Just copy the TB up folder to your pc then once you got your new phone just copy the TB folder to your new phones sd card. But to avoid any force close just restore app only and make sure you havnt back up any system app from you previous phone.

What you can do is set your titanium backup location to a folder on your external sd, and then batch backup all of your downloaded apps + data (dont backup system apps) on your old phone to that folder. Move that sd to your new s3 and re-download TB. Point the backup location to the existing folder on your sd, and then batch restore all of your apps (dont restore data, unless its for specific apps such as games).
And how would you copy sms/mms-messages, contacts, logins (facebook etc.) and mail (that is: not gmail, but k9mail) from an old Desire to the S3 ?
TB does not seem to do this well, that is to say, not when I just tried this.
It does not even offer a 'restore' option from a just created backup, since it's just created and does not regard it as from a different phone.
Are there any other apps that do android phone-migration well?
Ok, so call me a noob....again....But here is my situation
I had to return my HTC DNA To Verizon due to the AUX Jack not working, so I downloaded and bought TitaniumBackup Pro, and backed up all of my apps and data thinking i would be able to restore it all on my replacement device.
I got my replacement device today, i transferred all of the APK (Zip files) and ODEX (Zip Files) to my phone. I went into Titanium backup, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to restore the apps and data from the backup files i have.
Am i missing something, or what?
When you go into TB, go to the Backup/Restore tab and click the square/check mark symbol. Choose the type of restore you want and click run. Verify your options on the final screen, click on the green check mark at the top, and let it do It's thing.

Make sure you set the backup folder location in Titanium.

I did go into Preferences -> Backup folder Location, and directed it towards the location with the backups, and it can see all of the .gz files, but there is a little blue icon that says there is only 1 backup in the folder when there is a list of about 30.

I tried going through there, and i clicked on every single restore option, "Mising apps with data, all apps with data, all system data, ect..." and none of them recognized the backup files that i had in the backup directory, so nothing was restored.
---
Is there something i need to do in order to get TB to recognize the backups, because in the batch restore window it only shows (1) backup, and that was a test backup that I did to see if the numbers would change at all.
I restored all apps from my Titanium backups from my Droid X.
They were in a folder called TitaniumBackup in my Droid X so I copied the entire folder to my desktop. Then drug it to the root of the sdcard folder on the DNA.
I then opened up Titanium and set my backup folder location accordingly. I then hit either reload application or refresh apps list in the menu. It then refreshed the list in the Backup/Restore tab to include all my currently installed apps, and all my backups. The backups were crossed out indicating they are not installed.
That worked for me, past that I have no idea.

Thanks for trying to help, It sounded great and I was hoping it would work, but it didn't Oh well i guess, I have already re-installed everything one app at a time, I guess i'll just have to Re-do Hill Climb Racer allllll over again.
At first, i did just copy the Titanium backup folder over hoping it would automatically recognize it and sync to it, but nope.
Are you rooted? Titanium requires root. I have to ask, only thing I can think of.

Haha no worries, yes I'm rooted.
Man, I hate to bump an old post but I have this exact issue and my Google skills are failing me.
Did anyone get this fixed?
