Titanium Backup has worked for me all the time. But I would also recommend to enable the google backup feature in the phone settings, it helps with most of the phone settings.
Titanium Backup all the way man.. its such a great app if you are rooted.. you can backup your phone and then TB can push it to your google drive or drop box.. i have my set up to back up and push to dropbox every friday night at 3am

Thanks Ive gone ahead and purchased and Installed titanium backup pro and opened it and granted su permissions but I'm new to this. Can you walk me through how to perform the back up and schedule it to sync to my Dropbox at 3am?
To do a manual backup simply hit the menu button on the top > Batch > Backup all user apps + system data
To create a schedule after loading the app click the "Schedules" tab
Then on the bottom right choose "Add new schedule"
Click Edit on the newly created item
Select the options you want, I personally have a twice a week "Backup all user apps + system data" scheduled. Choose the day(s) and time. On the very bottom where it says "When finished:" select dropbox or whatever else you choose to backup to.
Save and bam, done! If you trigger a manual backup you will need to upload it to dropbox manually as well.
Hope this helps

sure thing ok first off you need to go into preferences and make sure you enable dropbox, or google drive (whichever you prefer).
then i would run a batch to back up all user apps
Next thing would be on the main page of TB on the upper right hand cornor you should see schedules,
There you should see a few canned options (backup sll new apps and new versions is the first one i run), bottom one being the sync to dropbox, just click edit and choose what you want to do..
Anyone having an issue with scheduled backups? Mine are set for daily with a reboot when dine. However, they aren't running. If I run the schedule manually it works

Hello , like many of you , i flash my phone quite often. It seems like we always have a new update or new rom . Trust me , im not complaining . I think its amazing .
I am using Titanium Backup now , but its quite a task to sit there and click install on 80+ apps . Is there a way we can auto install our apps with each flash ? Im not positive , but i think busybox can do something to this degree .. but havent really been able to find a cut and dry explanation .
Thanks guys
Just pay the titanium dude and get prO and its a three click task. And while the phones restoring...More time to spend searching for stuff.
Wow I didn't know that was a perk to the pro version. Buying it now. Thanks.

google also auto restores your apps now.. it did it when I flashed and wiped everything to 2.8 again, and my 3 apps I had previously downloaded were automatically restored by Google, lol.
Yeah that has been hit or miss for me lately ... mostly miss

Here is a work around I've been using. In TiBu, go to option, more, and create "update.zip". This will put a cwm flashable zip on your SD card that you can use to put TiBu back and everything else before entering your gmail info and giving OTA access to unwanted app downloads. After you restore what you want you can go to manage applications and clear market info so when you finally log on and go to the market it "should" only populate the apps you have installed already in 'my apps'. This might not totally work but it should cut back on unwanted downloads. Let me know if this method works out better for you.

Just thought I would share this from another thread on the subject of google auto restore.
verrrryyy interesting...
This was offered up in that same thread after the 'update.zip' method was suggested:
You can avoid this by skipping account creations at first boot, just hit skip skip next skip. Then you can go into settings and make sure data backup is unchecked. This prevents automatic data backup/restore when you do log into your account. Now log into your Google account. During setup it will ask if you want your data backed up, make sure to uncheck that! It actually comes up with a message that asks if you really want to delete existing backups on Google servers? Of course you do want it to so this won't happen again.
Have a question about the google backup option, where it automatically downloads and restores apps. Is there a way to clear out the apps it has in memory, and then back up fresh? I used it a while back, and now I have a nice clean set up the way I want, but when I turned it on it starts downloading all the old apps I no longer wanted.
Any ideas how to reset or clear out that list?
Thanks!

I've never found a way to clear google's list of apps on their side. However, if you skip google setup during the initial setup of the phone, and then setup your account later, it will not automatically download your apps.
Cool. I didn't know that.
You should try titanium backup. The 5 is worth it. After I install a new Rom I skip all the initial setup and just restore with Ti backup and reboot and everything is perfect

It is actually what I use. Just have been curious about the Google Backup and restore service for a bit now. Thanks for the reply
Curiously though, no-one knows how to do this.. lol

+1 - I found Titanium Backup to be one of the greatest apps. I had a ton of issues with Google trying to re-download all of my apps and created a mess of things. I just keep a backup copy of Titanium Backup on my sd card (the .apk) so I don't even have to open the market to download it. Restore apps after rebooting into my new rom and done! No More issues.
if u want to get rid of a app when u turn Google backup on you got to let it install and them uninstall it and sync
If you go to the web based version of the Android market you can edit what apps are associated with what phone. I actually have an old Droid that I mainly use as an alarm clock in the docking station and I just download apps from the online market and then I have the option of which phone I want to send it to.

Hi, how I can prevent my EVO 3D from re downloading purchased apps from market after factory reset?? its taking for ever and some apps I dont want anymore so its useless re downloading everything
Open your market, press menu, then press My Apps. It will show all apps being downloaded, look for a "STOP" button on the upper right portion of the screen and press it.
thanks for your reply, will this stop them for ever or they will resume after a phone reboot?
The way to keep them from even starting is to skip the sign in to your Google account on the first boot. If you skip that, you can go through the settings menu and uncheck the auto backup/restore feature, then go and add your Google account.

Hi,
How can we put a negative filter on Titanium Backup so that it excludes specific apps instead of selecting for it (as does the default positive filter)?
For example, I want to exclude Seek Droid from TB's "Backup New Apps" schedule, so that I will back up everything that's been recently installed, but not Seek Droid.
Thanks!
Sorry for bad english.

I would also like to do this. I have one app that I'd like to exclude from my scheduled backups. There seems to be an option in TB to create a negative filter, but I haven't figured out how to use it yet. Anyone have a walkthrough?
+1 for this feature too.

To exclude apps with the help of a filter.
- Start Titanium Backup
- Touch the Search-icon
- Touch the Funnel-icon (in the upper right corner)
- Scroll down and and create a label
- Check the box where it sez something like "reverse order" or smth (my locale is swedish), the box is on the same line as the "Create label"-button.
- Go to the Apps-list, longpress an app and assign a label
Now it should be possible to use a filter to exclude an app in a scheduled or manual backup
[EDIT]
Heh, i think my fingers was faster than my brain there, the box you can check is ofc only for excludning labels in the search.. not excludning filters when you schedule a backup.. this is what happens whan you write a "walkthrough" before you test it..
Only other way, I can think of, is to make a label the same way as described and then simply exclude that app from that label, and then remember to add every app to the label every time you install a new one.
any news on this? TB backs up all google music cloud data. and syncs multiple gigabytes into dropbox every night. (
Create a label and select the apps you want to exclude from the backup (using "Add/remove elements" when editing the label). Enable the label and then click the "Inverse (exclude labels)" checkbox. Configure the other filter settings as desired then save the filter and use it for your backups.
ah got it. thank you so much )
Works for one time backups, not scheduled backups.

This method does work but it won't allow you to automate the backups while excluding certain apps.
I am trying to automate moving user apps to the sd card once a week. Some apps however need to be on the internal memory for the widget to work; pandora, shazam, tiny flashlight, google music*, etc.
I was trying to label these certain apps to be excluded from internal user apps that can be selected in the schedule. So far i have run out of ideas.
I would love this to be implemented into the app, and I'll be writing a review onto the play store.
If anyone has a work around I'd appreciate it.

Does not really work. I excluded one app (Google Music) and it just backups this one!
Very annoying, that such a simple feature is missing...
I totally agree that this should be added. It should be trivial.
Not having such a simple feature lowers the value of custom filters a great lot, and of the app itself as well.

The method posted above worked perfectly for me. Backup always froze when backing up GOF2, so used the above method to exclude that program, and it worked perfectly - all other apps backup up.
n7000, OMNI ROM 4.4 nightly (2014-02-09), Titanium Backup 6.1.5.2.
Dosent work for me
I tried but still can't get it to work.
Let's say I have 2 apps, xda and Facebook. If I don't want facebook (filter label 'no facebook') I set up a filter to exclude facebook. When I schedule a backup with no filtering, it backs up both, if i schedule a back up with filter' no facebook', it just backs up face book.
How can i back up everything but the Facebook app?

I don't know if you will see this reply as your post is from back in 2012, but I wanted to reply back with a big thank you. Using this method I can greatly speed up my backups by excluding things that don't matter like Facebook, and other apps that don't have local data that matters.

I agree, the filter advice is helpful! (Another many months later ). I can understand why some people thought it doesn't work, because it's unintuitive and it's easy to confuse filters and labels, but once you know how it works, it's pretty powerful and not too complicated either.
This thread is relevant now in that Titanium Backup is causing an authentication issue for WiFi connections in Lollipop when it backs up the two "WiFi Access Points" apps, requiring you to re-connect with WiFi after the backup completes.
Creating a filter that excludes these apps via label, as described in this thread, will prevent the authentication issue (when using TB).
Another decent thread on this is at: http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2pdv2y/wifi_authentication_issues_with_nexus_5_after/cmw5vx9

Great, got it to work too. Thanks all!
I will admit, this feature isn't terribly obvious. But with simple instructions this has saved me a ton of time and storage space.
Thank you to all who have taken the time to explain it for us uninformed.
The people who are having issues, it sounds like you are creating the filter but selecting the app(s) you don't want in the backup. Some one explained that you select the app(s) you DONT want backed up then press "invert selection". This speeds up the process of creating the filter if you only need to filter out a small number of apps. Otherwise, when you create the filter, just select the apps you DO want to backup.
Once I realized I can filter apps, I just created a filter, selected all apps and went through and deselected the apps I don't want to backup. I did it this way because I wasn't sure what I wanted backed up.
hello
i noticed recently after moving to ICS, that after I flash a new rom, all my old apps start to download and install automatically.
Downside is I may not want all apps to install and then when an app installs it just installs but its old settings are not applied.
This never happened before when I was on GB.
I used to be able to batch install apps via titanium as well as restore the apps old settings.
is there a way to get back to what I am used to or have better control over apps re installing following the re flashing of a rom?
thanks
It's a default back and restore android feature, just reboot the phone or something, it's gonna stop it.
When you set up through setup wizard, it has a checkbox asking backup/restore checked. Just uncheck it. This was also in gingerbread setup wizard.

is this different than the option under Settings, Privacy - the 2 check boxes to "back up my settings" and "automatic restore"
do you use either of these or do you rely on an app to do this for you?
titanium or myback up pro?
thanks
Idk if its different, I just know I uncheck when doing setup wizard. I always manually install all 150-200 apps... It's a pain in the ass, but I know its cleaner that way over titanium backup and its faster than auto restore.

i think i will try mybackup pro as it looks as if it can save and back up more things than titanium (sms, apns, ...).
with how frequent updates are coming out to roms i am looking for more convenience to get back up and running faster after taking the new rom
thanks, i also came over to caprom from speed and I think i am preferring it so far, although both are pretty good
thanks
Also I found this when I opened the market the first time too... Just git the X in the top right corner...
I opened market within 10 minutes of flashing the leak so I got/caught it early..
But ya.. Uncheck the option during setup

Option in TiBU
This only works for those of us on Rooted Systems using CWM and Titanium Backup Pro. May work on standard but IDK, I use Pro.
One of the best ways I found to have full control over what gets re-installed on a flash of a new ROM with or without the latest Gapps "Restore from Google Account" tick box is to First do a CWM Nandroid Back Up of the current ROM with all the apps you want to keep updated through Play Store.
On install of your New ROM in the setup wizard, set up your Google account, un-check the "Restore account from Google" if it is there. turn on and connect your WiFi if you want. Go to Playstore and install your Titanium Backup and Pro license. Set up your TiBu prefferances and reboot the phone. Sometimes this needs to be done to get TiBu all the way up and running. then launch TiBu and go to Menu>Extract from Nandroid. Surf to the clockworkmod folder if you have to and sellect the backup you made. It will take a minute or more but there will be a list of apps and an option to restore Apps+Data, Apps only or Data Only. Make your tick box app selections and then hit the green check mark at the top right in TiBu.
This is way faster than the Play Store download speed and if you select Apps + Data your games and such will be right where you left off.
Then you can go to Play Store>My Apps and update any apps that need it since the Nandriod Backup was done.:good:
Titanium can backup your sms, bookmarks, call logs, and wifi access points...
