Use titaniumbackup from market, it would backup all your apps and its data. YOu have to backup your photos/videos manually by connecting your mobile to pc, its the easiest way
Titanium backup for app data and apps.
For anything else, use a cloud solution like Dropbox, Box, etc. All have apps and you can upload all your content to various multiple providers to have more than 1 backup. As also mentioned save a hard copy to your PC.
SMS backup & restore for your SMS messages is also useful.

I already checked other threads about this topic, but I have more specific stuff to ask about backup of user apps + system data, since I'm doing the GB>ICS update with downgrade+fullwipe+root:
- won't the restore of system data bring back old gingerbread files/broken stuff (I had a problem with video recording, I don't want to bring it with me)?
- are the phone contacts part of the "system data"? Can I just backup those and not the rest of data, since I don't care at all about sms or phone settings in general?
- do i lose photos and videos in the SD card if i wipe-flash a new rom?
- can I choose which user apps to backup? I don't really need to backup 'em all
- after the full wipe, all i have to do is redownload TB, look for the backup in the SD card and restore it?
Maybe there was more, if i remember I'll post it here =)
- do i lose photos and videos in the SD card if i wipe-flash a new rom?
Nope
- can I choose which user apps to backup? I don't really need to backup 'em all
Create a label. Its under Filter options.
- after the full wipe, all i have to do is redownload TB, look for the backup in the SD card and restore it?
Yes. After you install TB the backups are already listed there with a Smiley face

Hey buddy...
* for contact- you should backup ur contact to sdcard or ur gmail account.
* in full wipe, all contents like photos. And videos or others are not deleted.
* you can backup ur user apps and data using titanium backup and get back after flashing new rom through it do don't worry about user apps.
* yaa only redownload TB from play store and get back ur all user apps through it.
Cheers...
Sorry for bad english...

but you shouldnt backup apps from gingerbread and try to restore them under ics
i heard with some apps this will bring you force closes
Ok then, let's say I backup contacts directly on the Gmail account, as for the apps, does the backup save the whole app or just the data/savings? I don't mind reinstalling all the apps since Gmail keeps them saved on my account, I just don't want to lose some settings and games' savings, what should I choose in the end?
Edit: and backing up apps moved to SDcard, does it bring them back automatically to SD when you restore? Or should I move to phone every app I want to backup?

titanium will do this job
if you want to backup it will ask u wether u want to backup only the data or the whole app
if u restore it will ask this again
Great! So if I backup the app data only, then reinstall the app on ICS and restore its data, I shouldn't encounter the compatibility problems you mentioned, right?
Exactly
I did it several Times this way and all went great

TB does not backup pictures is why .
It is used to backup APPS .
jje
set your camera settings to save pictures in your EXTERNAL SD card. so you won't lose any of them.
it won't backup/restore the ff:
-pictures
-contacts (if saved from phone)
try clockworkmod from next time to backup your pictures etc.....titanium backup is for apps!!!
Hello,
As you know, after each ROM flash, if you have big pictures for your contacts, they will become very small.
Does anyone knows a backup software (or method of backup) for contacts that after ROM flash to restore the contacts pictures as they were before flashing?
Thank you.

I think google, now supports syncing hi-res contact pictures with your google contacts (pc)
I didn't try. But, it should be a method of doing it also locally. I tried by copying the contacts folder from /data/data and put it into the new ROM but is not working. Should be another files that are involved in this process.
You could also use MyBackup Root, excellent for a task like this
Play Store Link

I tried. It doesn't want to backup my contacts. It gives a lot of errors when I want to backup contacts.
I think that I found the solution: Titanium Backup Root.
Hey guys i'm running a custom rom and want to update it.
But it has included a automatic clear data.
So I want to back-up all my apps+data , i also want to keep my contacts etc
I have now tb pro. But i don't know which one i need to choose i also don't know how to restore it after i installed the new rom.
After installing new rom tb pro is also gone right?
Can you guys please help me ?
Use batch backup to backup all user apps + system data. Also you'll need the tb apk for re installing after flashing

Indeed, just click on 'Back up' to back up your apps and their data, but only on your own user apps, never system apps. After flashing, install TB from the Play Store and click 'Restore'.

There is no need to backup your contacts, they are automatically backed up by your google account. As soon as you sign in on your new rom it will sync your contacts for you.
If you want to backup your apps you should just use the batch icon in top right and then choose the section for backup of user apps and it will backup your apps and appdata.
On your new simply re-install TB and then use restore option. If it doesnt find your backup location/show backups in batch you will need to go to preferences and choose backup folder location again.
To do all this silently (not click install on each app) you will need to be rooted and have pro version.
PS. This is not a galaxy s2 topic. These types of topics belong in the general/android section as its not device specific.

backup & restore
...there are several ways to do that..
apps
- through tb..normal backup->restore..update.zip...your choice..
- or any other b&r app
contacts
- sync via google
- import/export trough app (.vcf vcard)
- through tb..backup&restore Contacts data then reboot
[Kontakte 4.1.2-eng.root...]
& optional , cause i don´t know atm if needed..[Kontakte-Speicher 4.1.2-eng.root...]
cwm-backup to be save :angel:
yes..at the new rom you will have to install tb first in order to use it.
dowload the apk from authors website to your external sdcard
.u could do.
dowload titanium-backup-apk to your phone..
sync your contacts with google..batch-backup all inc sys apps+data..
make a cwm-backup..copy cwm & titanium backup folders to a safe place..
do your rom-update
do the appropriate settings and install tb..restore what you need and have fun :victory:
Or if you've bought titanium backup you could restore it from store after installation

Allright thanks everybody, it worked
Hello developers,
I'm new android user, please help me to backup android application and its data.
How to backup all data and application without root... I want to backup apk files as well as apps data.....
e.g. if I backup whatsup app apk then it should also backup its data means all msgs setting and all..
If you know any solution please let me know....
Please don't tell me how to backup apk files... Kies itself can be used for that... at-least I know about it...
Thanks
