Hello,
I would like to make a backup of my Final Fantasy VI save. I need to uninstall the game temporarily (I need space for videos) but I don't want to have to start it all over again.
I know I could use Titanium Backup but the backup will take around 500 Mb on my Nexus 7 (2013) and I'm trying to free up some space. Is there any way to only export the save file and uninstall the game + data?
My N7 2013 is rooted by the way.
Thanks!

Titanium Backup doesn't back up any external SD card data (by defualt, anyway), only the .apk file itself (about 36MB). Or you can simply just backup the app data only.

Root access
go into your data folder and then the folder for ffvi
your save should be in there.

I'm having a problem getting games to work after the data folder is manually copied into sdcard/Android/data it always says it needs to download them by wifi even though I'm putting the exact same files in there that its downloading down to the last byte, I even copied then deleted the files they downloaded through wifi and then copied them back in and the game doesn't work.
Anyone can tell me whats going on here this doesn't make sense to me I can't backup my games!
Would probably be better if you backed up the Game app and data using Titanium Backup or My Backup. Then you can restore them intact.

I could try that but Titanium Backup has hung for me before trying to backup Shadowgun so it might not work for all games, I'd really like to understand why removing and copying back the game data breaks the game, it would be great if I could just keep the files safe on my PC.

I've used Titanium Backup to backup the data of several games (Let's Golf 3 for example with 1Gb of aditional data) and when reinstalling the ROM the game worked without problems or saying to redownload the data.
The main issue with backing up just the /sdcard folder of the aditional data is that the app probably has some variable saved saying if the aditional data has been saved or not, so maybe if you only save the /sdcard folder and reinstall the app from the market, as it doesn't have its original data will prompt you to redownload the aditional data.
I would suggest you try the following:
1) Backup the app from Titanium Backup (app+data). This does a backup of the app you download from Market, not the aditional data.
2) If you're gonna format /sdcard partition, save the aditional data in your PC or an external device to be able to restore it. Just do a copy/paste.
3) Once resintalled the ROM or whatever you're doing, restore first the /sdcard folder saved in step 2.
4) Restore the app from Titanium Backup, select restore app+data.
5) Run the app and it shouldn't ask to redownload the data.
If you're still having problems, please post which app is the one you're trying to restore.
For some reason titanium backup doesn't work for me, it will backup successfully but won't restore the apps.
My Backup pro restores the apps correctly but any downloaded data isn't for some reason. Some help would be great.

maybe coz ur ROM not same with ur ROM when make a backup
Hi All,
I am using Android from the past 2 years but never really came across any PC Suite like applications that allows to backup apps data/game data. I recently found wondershare Mobilego, a PC application which can backup app apk files but that also comes with bugs, it will not restore always. I had a Iphone 3Gs before and must say backup and restoring was a child's play.
Please let me know if we have something of that sort for Backing up and restore or easier way of backup, not Titanium backup as it does not backup all apps like asphalt 6. Each time I flash a new ROM I have to download 540mb of game data.

I think you're doing something wrong... Are you wiping all user data when you flash another ROM? I have Let's Golf 3 on my phone and when I update to a new ROM I don't loose the 900Mb of additional data of the game.
Usually the game data is saved to /sdcard so if you don't format it, you shouldn't loose it.
A possible workaround for this issue could be the use of a manual backup script to save /data and /sdcard files (Do a tar and gzip to those folders and download to your PC).
Thanks for the reply but do we have any PC suite app for backing up.
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.

hi,
sorry for the generic post but is it possible to clone my entire phone? i have cwm and titanium backup pro but the resulting backups are less than a gb.
on tb pro i did all apps and system data, i was expecting a huge backup, maybe 10gb but it was like 0.7gb.
any advice?

u want the whole rom,apps,data bckup,,,,,,so do a nandroid in the cwm recvery option----backup ...and u got a etire bckup....u can restore ur bckup point wen ever u want....
If you want to back up your entire Android OS and Apps then back it up in CWM Recovery. This will be the most complete backup
If you want to back up Apps only (including System apps) you can do this in Titanium Backup
App data wont be stored in CWM Recovery Backups such as additional downloaded game data (like gameloft games which can be around 1GB per game), nor will multimedia files which will remain on your internal or external memory.
If you want, you can specify in Titanium backup how much of the game data (data other than the apk itself) you wish to save. By default this is set to <=35MB if i remember correctly, but you can change this higher or lower.
I'm going to be getting an S3 in the next few days and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to bring all my apps & settings from my one x with me? I have titanium backup pro.
Would I just back it up to sd card then load from Titanium once I get my S3?

Sure u can. Just copy the TB up folder to your pc then once you got your new phone just copy the TB folder to your new phones sd card. But to avoid any force close just restore app only and make sure you havnt back up any system app from you previous phone.

What you can do is set your titanium backup location to a folder on your external sd, and then batch backup all of your downloaded apps + data (dont backup system apps) on your old phone to that folder. Move that sd to your new s3 and re-download TB. Point the backup location to the existing folder on your sd, and then batch restore all of your apps (dont restore data, unless its for specific apps such as games).
And how would you copy sms/mms-messages, contacts, logins (facebook etc.) and mail (that is: not gmail, but k9mail) from an old Desire to the S3 ?
TB does not seem to do this well, that is to say, not when I just tried this.
It does not even offer a 'restore' option from a just created backup, since it's just created and does not regard it as from a different phone.
Are there any other apps that do android phone-migration well?
