[Q] TWRP backup questions - HTC Droid DNA

Can I delete the backup file from the SD card and store the backup file only, or are there circumstances where people can't even access the bootloader?
When restoring from a backup, will the restore restore my desktop appearance/apps/widgets/launchers/launcher shortcuts, or just the system and the system settings, e.g. ROM, kernel and apps?
Thanks

Titanium Backup after erasing /sdcard

I want to wipe /sdcard and then to restore apps and data. So what I'll do:
1. Titanium Backup for all apps and data.
2. Wipe /sdcard.
3. Reinstall a fresh Titanium Backup.
But -- Titanium Backup is now fresh, so it doesn't have the apps and data backup I made earlier to restore from.
So the question is:
Does it suffice to copy the entire old Titanium Backup directory into the fresh (and empty) Titanium Backup directory?
Will the option 'restore missing apps with data' show all the stuff I backed up?
Mmm I did this when I moved to a custom JB rom. Like you said if you wipe sd card you will loose all the TB data. I'm not sure if you can move the TB folder to your pc then move it back after the wipe to restore your apps. I personally decided not to as I wanted to make sure I only had JB compatible apps on my phone as I was moving from an ICS rom. Perhaps other users have done this and can advise further.

[Q] Does TWRP not backup apps on ext sd?

I just restored a nandroid I had and all the apps I had moved to the sd were missing. Is there a way to correct this or do they have to be in the phone storage to be included in the backup? Of course I had everything in TiB, but that's not the same. When I do a nandroid I expect it be exactly the way I left it.
a nandroid backup usually includes the system, data, and boot images. user apps are usually installed on the data partition, but if you chose to move apps to your sd card via application settings then it would not be backed up.

[Q] How to make full (!) backup

Hi folks,
I would like to know how I can create a complete backup of my I9300. I mean not only with Titanium Backup and Nandroid. I would like to backup the complete data of my apps, including the internal memory. Titanium Backup, etc. do not provide the possibility to backup the data from apps like Vaulty or Spotify. The settings of the apps will be backed up by TB, but for Vaulty not the images and videos and for Spotify not the downloaded songs and so on.
Can somebody help me?
Nandroid will backup same stuff as titanium, apps + internal data. Titanium is for rom change and restoring specific apps + internla data.
Backup your internal sd files with a simple copy paste to your pc.

backups beyond nandroid

As we know, a twrp nandroid does not backup user data. So to be safe, that needs to be backed up separately. Even Titanium Backup does not backup documents, DCIM folders, etc.
I am not an android expert but I guess that all the data that is not included in a nandroid backup probably lies in a separate partition on the phone. If I am correct, rather than backing up these individual folders is it possible, on a rooted phone, to simply backup that entire user partition to a usb device in one go that ensures everything can be restored?
How?
Thanks.

User data is stored in the /data/media partition.
When creating a nandroid backup, you can choose the option to include "internal storage", this will backup your user data. Restoring this backup will restore your user data along with your ROM.
Other methods are:
Connect your device to PC via USB, then open the devices storage on PC then highlight all the folders and files that you see there and copy them then paste them to a folder on your PC. This will save all of your user data, to restore the data, connect to PC and copy everything back over to your devices internal storage.
You can also use "adb backup" to back up and restore user data.

[Q] Restore titanium backup after pie update help

I just updated my s9 to Pie, and did a ful factory reset. My apps are backup up on titanium backup, on my ext sd card. I granted it root permissions. The only way I can see them is going to DocumentProvider and selecting the folder. I can see the folder, and I can see the backups but the "Use Current Folder" is greyed out. What do I need to do in order to restore my backups?
Seems titanium doesn't have access to sdcard, the easy way is just copy the entire folder to internal.
I had problems with Titanium backup as well.
Using Migrate fixed it.
