I'm going to unlock the bootloader of my nexus 7, which I didn't do when I just get the device. But I'm wondering what is the difference between adb backup and Titanium Backup.
By difference here I mean the things that are backed up.
And I heard that some data is not backed up by adb backup, is that true?

I'm not sure, but I have always used Titanium backup, you can see this guide: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34040-guide-titaniumbackup-tutorial/
to back up all my apps. However, I don't have the pro version, so once i restore all my apps using titanium backup, I use an app called Super backup to restore all of my contacts, call logs, messages, etc.
Hope this helps, and as always, dont forget to backup a nandroid just in case something goes wrong
Cheers, hope this helps
What are the pros and cons of using ADB Backup vs Recovery Backup?
Is there any difference between the two?
ADB Backup seems to have a lot more flexibility in what you want to backup (apk, data, system, etc). Recovery Backup seems to be an all or nothing deal.
ADB Backup seems to be faster than Recovery Backup.
ADB Backup saves the file to your laptop, freeing up space on your phone. This can be good or bad depending on the situation.
ADB Backup requires an ADB connection, this can be a PITA depending on the situation.
ADB Backup doesn't generate md5 sum, AFAIK.
ADB Backups seem to be a lot smaller than Recovery Backups, mine was 265mb for ADB vs 1.12Gb for Recovery.
Which backup do you prefer and why?
I've never tried ADB backup but after reading your post I'll have to use it the next time I backup my data. I know there are a few GUI programs on Windows that I've tried that had those options.
One thing that is nice about backups from using a custom recovery is that it goes with you when you're away from a PC for any length of time. You can restore everything in one session.

I take both. I'm not about to tamper with my cwm backups by removing the .imgs i don't want, so each backup works in its own context. I'm not sure many people even know they can do an adb backup..
If the size difference is so large, is it actually getting all the data? If it is, why aren't recoveries taking advantage of the same compression scheme?
I'll be honest; I was only vaguely aware that I could do backups via adb... I would imagine the biggest reason people don't do use it is the inconvenience of needing a computer to do one. Most people are pretty uncomfortable with ADB
Hi,
I have a droid turbo 2, and have all the backup and restore settings checked. I've had my phone connected overnight several times, but it seems to have barely backed up even the most basic stock apps. The Google Drive files are so small that I question whether anything is backed up (see attached pic). What am I doing wrong? Is there a way force a backup via brute force?
Anyone?
Is using adb to perform your backup possible? If so there are many guides on setting adb up then once you have a recognised device issue "adb backup -all -apk -system backup.ab. you could use the -shared or -noshared depending on if you want to backup internal storage. Then when you want to restore issue "adb restore backup.ab" thats the only fix I can suggest without more info.
How to make a nandroid backup using adb as my watch doesnt have enough space?:silly:
So I have an S9+ that is not able to be rooted, Snapdragon version. What is the best way to backup all my apps if I wanted to move them to another device? Obviously I can't use Titanium Backup. Helium doesn't support backup of all apps. What about Smart Switch, will it backup and restore all apps and data. Also, there is ADB Desktop Backup, but I've also heard this will not backup all apps and data as some developers disable this capability. This seems to be the one thing that Apple has over the Android devices is complete device backups with ease. Hopefully someone can help me out here with the best option to make this happen. Thanks.
