i get "sync to dropbox skipped due to power/connectivity". it's charging at the time and on 3g which is fine.
backing up manually within TB works but how to get it to do it automatically as a task?

After getting all these FC on the Market I was looking at everything and noticed that my Accounts and Sync option under settings is gone. Went to Titanium backup and it does not give me the option to "restore" even though it shows me a backup. My backups are password protected.
Does anybody know how this got removed? Any advice on restoring manually? I am running G-Harmony 2.6.
Thanks
Hi all,
My phone, an evo shift 4g running 2.3.3, started acting up so i decided i would restore it to factory settings to start fresh. Before i restored, i backed up my contacts, messages, and calendar with android sync manager wifi, which resulted in an .mbk file. Since the phone has been restored, i have been trying to restore my data but android sync manager keeps freezing everytime i start the restore. Can anyone help me figure out how to restore my data? I've seen people get everything back from their google accounts, but apparently i didn't sync my phone correctly so i basically have an empty phone and I didn't backup to my sd (all i have is the .mbk file). I know how to temp root and have a basic knowledge of ADB... if that helps... thanks.
I am the type of guy who trys a rom for a few days then moves on to another. One thing i have hated is loosing my apps, and game saves for them also. I use titanium backup, but alot of times it doesn't back up my game saves. Also my issue with titanium back up is when i restore my apps i have to manually select install on all the apps i add.
Im looking for a way to hook my phone to my computer and MOST importantly back up my sms and photos. but would also love to back up my apps and game saves. is there a better option then titanium backup?
thank you
For 1 get titanium backup pro! you will not regret it. This will allow auto backup/restore and you wont have to click to restore 1 at a time.
Depending on where the app saves data, Titanium backup will store your game files. However big games (gameloft etc) store files on ur sdcard.
What I do is backup my sdcard + Titanium backup. This should basically get everything. And in many apps you can backup setting's manually to sdcard (most launchers,GOSmS,etc).
I use a program called Allway Sync. Anything would work (or just copy entire drive every time) but this is how i have it setup. I plug in my phone to computer. SDcard gets H: , External SDcard gets I: and with Allway Sync it just does a 1 way backup to a folder on my computer (propagating changes and deletions). This way if i haven't changed much since last backup it will be done in under a minute instead of re-copying 10+gigs.
Then you can get more detailed with Allway Sync settings and exclude the junk folders (cache,tmp, etc) so it slims your backup down more making it clean.
Once I change rom's or anything I switch direction on Allway sync and copy files back onto sdcard's and then use Titanium Backup Pro to restore all app's.
Wonderful idea. i will look into all that. thank you very much

Can u please show me how can i restore the back up with titanium back up bro? When i wipe all data to flash a new rom, so do i need to reinstall titanium back up and just go there to restore all data?
Thank you
Install TiBu, then batch restore. Only backup user apps and data. That will restore everything from the app and it will do it automatically.
Miui backup is the best by far, but you have to be using miui.

hey guys i have a quick question about titanium backup, i did a couple of backups on titanium, is there a way i can restore only the latest backup because when i go to restore it shows me all my apps from my previes backups...
you can restore them 1 by 1, not sure if there is a option to restore only the latest as any backup you do will overwrite the one you did before (if it is them same app), whereas there is for instance an option to only restore apps with data changes if I remember well.

I think if we backup using the pro version, the backup file will be only 1 LATEST BACKUP per app
you can set titanium to keep as many backups as you want, if you only want to restore certain ones, then until the ones you don't want to r restore.....it's not exactly rocket science
I have a problem with restoring some apps' .TiKB files. I have them saved to my BOX account and when in try to import them, some eier work or some just shows operation canceled. Why is this happening?
I used to back up every week until i got a message about running out of space, you only actually need 1 backup in Titanium and maybe keep a spare backup in Dropbox or Box or on your laptop in case, i delete a backup every week after updating apps, restart the phone and then backup so it's a fresh backup.
thats not the hting though. my problem is that i made backups for apps/games for the easy import method(from BOX using the .TiBkp files) and so for some apps/games it lets me restore and some say operation canceled. why does it not let me restore. any idea why?
It seems that I messed up big time. I recently just setup a Z-Push server to sync with my Zimbra 8 installation. Things were going good for the last day or so but my contacts were not auto-syncing, I had to manually sync them. When I went into the account settings it said "Sync Disabled".
I chose not to sync email with Z-Push because I really didn't see the need since I can just use IMAP and don't really care if I get PUSH notifications. If I get an email 30 seconds later it really doesn't bother me.
So... In an effort to clean things up, I thought, "since I use K-9 mail I wouldn't need the default email client", so I deleted it. I backed it up and then clicked uninstall. I did get a warning that said something like "in order to restore you will have to restore from Titanium Backup with the exact same ROM". I obviously misunderstood this warning because I clicked ok. When I went to re-setup the Exchange account the option was no longer there.
I went to go re-install the email client and my backup was gone.
I have a back up of the app from when I first installed Titanium Backup which is on my desktop. I just copied it over to my Downloads folder on my sd card, but I can't find a way to install the apk or the properties file into Titanium Backup from the sd card.
Could someone please help me restore this app? I would like to get exchange setup.
--- DISREGARD: I searched for the email app and it was found. I restored it. ---
