I would like to backup my apps and restore them on another NT. I have 'Titanium Backup Free' and 'App Backup & Restore'. Will either/both of these work for the restore? Anyone ever do this and can give me any pointers? I know some apps have folders created on my SD Card (i.e., Madden Football) that contains additional information. I assume I would have to move these files too?
Thanks!!
Yes -
Copy your Ti-Backup folder from your sd card to the new NT's sd card, download and install Ti-Back-up on the new NT and start restoring/installing.

Yes,I can sure that it will be fine
I just restored the Titanium backup apps from my phone(defy) to rooted NT,and all worked well!
At the moment of restore your apps use the option apps + data by default its checked so you really don't have to do anything else just hit the button run. That way you keep all your apps data.

Hi,
I backed my sd card contents to my pc, my rooted incredible was a mess it was running CM7. I wiped the card flashed PB31IMG, a stock+ ROM then flashed MIUI now how do I get my backup onto the phone? So my apps + all the information and upgrades are like they were. Ie. all the money and levels I have got to in a app such as drag racing, my Handcent settings messages etc.
I am not sure how to copy the just the names of all the folders so you can see them if that would be more helpful to you please let me know how. If I could get my backed up removeable disk on here without the files I dont need I would be so grateful. Thanks
If you made a backup before you flashed you will have to restore to the backup and backup the apps using titanium backup. If not, sorry, all is lost...
Hi,
I've looked around, but noone had same problem as me.
I have Titanium Backup, and i did a backup on my 34 apps to my externals SD. Today i installed new ROM so i wanted to restore these apps, but titanium can't do this.
This is how i do:
1. I went in to Preferences --> restoration settings --> "Restore backups to..." and there is choosed "external media".
2. I went back to first screen --> batch---> restore , but there's no apps there at all.
Please help.
Sounds like you didn't backup your SD card which contains the Titanium backups you have made before installing the new rom. Your new ROM may have formatted your SD card, am I correct?

No, all the files are at the SD card, i made a map called "titanium backup" where i placed all the backups, and they're still there. But titanium wont restore these.
Pretty lame, i bought the pro version for the "single click" function, meaning restore everything in single click, but it's useless if i can't save these to SD card.
Edit: I tried move the entire folder to internal SD, but same, titanium wont recognize anything.

Oh ok, try checking the file sizes of the backup and let me know.
Check TB preferences for backup location, and scan the entire device it should locate the folder with your backups.
And from then on that will be your backup folder.

Thanks i managed to solve this now, and now TB can find those apps, but when i press begin and it begins to restoring, nothing happens, it stuck at 0%, does this happend to you to when you use your external SD to restore?
I've tried 3 times now, and it allways stuck at 0%.
Edit: i moved the folder to Phones internal memory, but same, it wont load my backups.
What could be the problem?
I had this problem once too.
copy the folder with the TB backups to our PC and formate the sd card. additionally I reinstalled the whole rom too. And after that try again. It worked for me.

Ok, i installed a new ROM today anyway, and i formated my external SD too. Is it enogh to format it in phone settings, or i need to do it in PC, or it doesn't matter?
I get back if i still have the same problem again,
thanks
for me it worked with the recovery formatting tool.

Hi, is there anyway to backup apps so that i dont lose save files? (so i dont have to restart from the beginning of the game each time)
It'd be best if there was some way to move apps + their saves files to the external SD card (also is it necessary to format extSD card before flashing ROMs that need full wipe?)
I heard titanium backup might be able to do this, but if i full wipe my internal sd card titanium back up + backup file also gets deleted.
Thanks.

Does titanium backup also restore save files and settings?
It backups and restores the application data storage.
If an app stores it's saves or some content on the sdcard, then that particular conten is not stored since it technically does not belong to the app and thus Titanium has no way of knowing what to backup.
I can however recommend for savegames etc to sync those folders on the sdcard with Dropbox. Not only will you have an offsite backup but it also includes the history of the last 30 or 90 days so if you f%#@ up ingame you can restore your old save.

Which folders do I backup? does drop also back up the app itself
Back up everything just in case, it's there for if you ever need it.
Luckily I can help you as I made the mistake last night of restoring system data.
First of all back up EVERYTHING and place it in your external SD card if you wish.
When you've wiped the phone download Titanium Backup again and restore "missing apps + data" just the missing apps and data. Do NOT restore the system files, it will result in everything to stop functioning.
With the onset of TWRP for all G3 variants, i am eagerly awaiting the first ROM to drop. With that being said, i am trying to backup all settings and apps with titanium backup to my external SD card, but when i go to change the backup location, i can't choose ext sd because "this folder is not writable". What do i need to do to get around this?
This app did the trick for me.

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping you can help me with an issue I'm having with Titanium Backup not being able to see old backups. I just reflashed stock de-odexed 5.0.1 using Flashfire. In Flashfire I set it to wipe 3rd party apps before flashing. The flash went fine and my phone went through the setup fine, and I chose not to restore all my app/setting from Google. All the TB backups were still on my SD card and I set the backup location in TB to the old directory on my SD card. But my problem is when I got to restore user apps in TB, it can't see any of the old backups in the TB directory on my SD card. Anyone else ever experience this? Did you find a way to fix it so TB could see all the old backups?
Thanks.
Eric
I'm guessing it's related to 5.0.1 not allowing access to your external SD card. Try running SD Fix, available in the app store. Be sure to reboot after you run the app. Hopefully, this will fix the problem!

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked into that, but it didn't fix anything.
I'm having this issue too, you're not alone. I recently flashed Hyperdrive RLS21 over stock rooted MJ7 and TB could not see my user apps backup on the external SD card... Very weird. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
