If I recall correctly, there was such an app, but I can't remember its name. :S
I use - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result to backup and restore SMS.
It is not related to nandroid backup still, it may be helpful.
Nope. I cannot delete my current ROM to restore the nandroid. So, anyone can help?
Edit: I FOUND IT! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handyandy.appextractor
For anyone that needs it. DD
Good find. This may come in handy in the future.
I also use SMS backup & restore, apn backup & restore, bookmark backup & restore, call logs backup & restore as well as titanium backup from the market.
This will help when I forget to backup one of them and only have a cwm backup.

It copies the data files to Your sdcard.
I use it also.
But the best backup utility is xRecovery (for Xperia) or CWM

Titanium Backup IMO. Google it, play around. Freeze apps, backup...it's pretty straight forward.
Titanium Backup is my preferred one.
Not much can beat tibu

I use TITANIUM BACKUP PRO as well. It's very simple and also very efficient
clockworkmod is the best
I use a combination of MyBackup and Titanium Backup; MB for restoring apps in bulk and TB for restoring the data.
I recommended Titanium backup pro.
It's very simple and useful.

Titanium Backup is best for my taste.
Titanium+Google for apps level, and clockwork mod nandroid images for whole system backups/checkpoints.

titanium works good for backing up apps, but for system related stuff you need something like cwm
Titanium Backup for sure !
Titanium Backup Pro all the way!

I also echo the Titanium Backup, works real nice. I don't think it backs up SMS or Call Logs though (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong!!). For that I use SMS Backup & Restore along with Call Log Back Up & Restore.
CWM
I think... and my qout goes to CWM.. everybody have it...
we need it for dev... and soo i think it`s the best... no installtion like titanium.. and soo think CWM iss the best
NOOB question - restoring after flashing a new ROM
I get how to do a Nandroid back up...
I get how to do a Titanium Backup...
I would think you do a nandroid backup in case you want to undo everything and go back to a stable ROM and applications...
I would think that when you try out a new custom ROM you'd back up with Titanium and then simply restore your system data and applications with data after you flash the new ROM... BUT most of the new ROM's come with the instructions not to restore from Titanium as it may make things unstable....
So what do you frequent flashers do?
Do you ignore the Dev's telling you not to restore with TI or do you reinstall everything from scratch?
Is there a better way?
Sorry if this is a dumb question...I have hit the thanks button to many of you!
Thanks to all - great forum...
Personally, I restore user apps and selectively some system stuff. Like if I have a newer version of maps, then I'll restore. If it's dialer storage with mms apn etc then no. Every time I try to restore text that way it just screws up my messaging. I do restore bookmark data, launchers, widgets, email, keyboards. Best bet is to set backup limit to 2, backup prior to flash, backup before restoring. restore what you'd like if something is broken, restore data to proper system app. I strongly recommend not restoring dialer storage, just download SMS backup and restore
Over time and experience you'll get what you can and can't restore through titanium backup, from there you can create a custom label for system items that you will restore, and just back those up vs everything
Also, you can restore with titanium backup from nandroid backups now, just in case

Hi people,
I need help, I have a backup from Copy & Restore that I've made, and I need to recover some sms and contacts.
Is there anyway to recover this backup file in ICS or in a computer?

I said Copy & Restore but I was wrong. I meant Backup & Restore.
What's the issue??
Backup and restore app just backs up app and not data!
Use titanium backup for getting data backed up and getting it to restore!
If that's what you're lookin for

The issue is that I need to restore a backup made in Backup & Restore but it doesn't work so I'm asking if there are other way to do it.
I need some contacts in that backup file (sbf file)
Hello,
apologies if this has been asked already, but i couldn't find it. I recently moved from stock JB to Omnirom and have taken backup of sms (data only) and also nandroid backup. TBP is failing to restore the sms data, I have tried to extract the nandroid backup /data.ext4.tar.a\data\data\com.android.mms\. What all should i restore from there and to what location?

Basically i can't figure out how to fix the phone so i'm going to flash back to stock and start from there.
all i really need to do is restore sms/mms/whatsapp chats
i was able to make a nandroid backup of phone state. it looks like data partition is in a tar gz file that i can extract files from.
My question is, can I just overwrite the mmssms.db and whatsapp database files to restore?
(restoring whatsapp messages from nandroid manager has failed miserably)
for anybody interested, i was able to restore from nandroid sms and mms using titanium backup.

for sms you can use a sms backup and restore app from playstore. its free and works perfectly. no need of root or anything. just copy the backup files to different phone and use restore option.
