Hi, I'm new to the forums so I'm not sure if I should be posting this question. I just wanted to backup a game because it's 1gb in size and I don't want to download it every time I mess with my phone. I just downloaded an app called "App backup & restore" which backs up whole apps on your phone. It saved it as a 38mb apk file. Can someone explain why is the file, that's supposed to be the whole app, so small and how am I going to restore the app with it? It just seems unnatural to backup a 1gb app to a 38mb file so I thought it's probably not backing it up correctly.

Hello! I didn't know where else to post, so I did it here. Please relocate this topic if it is in the incorrect place because I don't know any better.
Anyway. I've installed AK Notepad on my old ROM and did a Nandroid. I have only one note in there which I'd like to extract. I have extracted the data.img and system.img on my PC and I can find the .apk, but I can't find that one note that was written in there. Is there a way to find it? Or maybe if I can't extract the note, can I copy the settings somewhere in my phone so the AK Notepad will act as if it is that one on the old ROM where I wrote that note?
Um, why don't you just make a new backup, then restore the backup with the note, email or text the note or whatever, then restore your new backup you made, shouldn't take more than ten minutes.
Yes, but still, I would like to know if this is possible.

pretty sure Titanium Backup also lets you install things from nandroid backups. Not sure it it's apps (or apps + data only) or if it'll let you do "data only" restores. But if you've already got it installed, might be worth a shot.
I've created a backup called "app +data (easy import)".
Now I can't find any option to restore an app from this backup.
Not from dropbox nor from a titanium backup folder.
Titanium does not see this file and says there is no backup for that app.
So how to restore an app from this kind of backup??
Try clicking on the backup file either in Dropbox or the local file system and running it. Titanium Backup will then ask if you want to restore the app and or data. I know I saved my backup in Gmail, and after downloading, I just press view in Gmail itself and TiBackup will show that dialog.

it was enough to update to the nevest verssion.
Now I have a bigger problem.
It does not restore any data of system apps.
Not Go Launcher, nor Go sms, or rom settings are being restored.
I've tried to flash the rom again an then restore - no result.
How to force titanium to restore system apps data?
ps. I was able to do it before. It's just stopped working.
Hi I am having similar problems, backed up using easy backup apk & data, sent via gmail to my other phone with Titanium backup on it, when I open it TB recognises it and says please wait, but nothing happens the app does not install. It is only a widget that I want installed but its not having it :crying:
Also I have a tf101 which is not rooted is there anyway I can unzip without TB to use this free widget as its not on the general market, I have a paid version of TB and using the latest release, but obviously not on the tf101.
Any help appreciated as it is frustrating I cannot save apks to other phones.
Thanks

I never found the correct answer to this question, which - from my experience - is a rather improbable one. This is the answer:
Find your TiBkp file with some kind of file explorer. In my case: I used "root explorer", probably any other one will do as well. Tap on it.
You will see: "No activity found to open this file."
Your options are
a) cancel
b) open as.
Choose "open as".
Now you get a lot of options (I see seven). One of them is: APK file. Choose it.
Now you may select an "option for null" (probably the null refers to the unknown file extension TiBkp) .
The options are: cancel, view and Install.
Choose install.
Now you get the option from Titanium backup to restore your files. And that works perfectly.....
Cheers :victory:
Hello, i Know this thread is old, but i seem to have run into the same problem. My tibkp file is grayed out and i can't access it. and when i navigate to it and try to open it, it won't give an option to open it with Titanium. Help please. Thank you
PS I have a rooted S7 Edge. Thank you
Hm.. I'm having a similar issue: I can't import .TiBKP files anymore; two devices, S6 Edge running SuperSU-rooted nougat, and Tab S2 running magiskSU-rooted nougat (in both cases the nougat itself is from samsung)
Hello im having troubles backing up an app.
Whenever i back up i get three files (.apk .tar and one PROPERTIES) instead of the .TiBkp. I cant restore said files.
Help please.
New phone, Old problem. Trying to use .TiBKP files to migrate apps&settings from my old phone to my new one, rather than just simply copy everything using smart switch, but opening them in Titanium Backup is NOT an option for .TiBKP files.
Any hints?
Hi all,
I have a number of paid and other apps I want to make a physical backup with on my computer. I'd like to try to figure out what the .apk filename is, but the filenames are confusing and not relevant to the app that they represent. I have a Titanium backup as well as a nandroid backup, but again the filenames are not intuitive enough to figure out, and the nandroid backup is a gigantic 900mb compressed image.
That said, is there a way to figure out which filename.apk relates to which actual app?
Thanks,

I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but I'm curious why you need a backup on a computer? Your purchase history is stored by Google, and apps can be re-downloaded any time you need. APK names are a mixed bag...kind of whatever the developer wants. There's probably info out there for each app, though.
So I recently made the jump to a Nexus 5, and in the process deleted every backup except one backup ZIP file from a month or two ago. I'm not overly concerned as I only really needed it for my Tasker profiles. The issue is, with a backup ZIP, there is no option to restore a single app. It's all or nothing.
Ideally, I'd like to extract the app data for Tasker, or better yet, just the XML backup file. Is this possible?
Hi guys, each time I install a new rom that's my issue. I mean I do my backups with Titanium backup and when I restore my data I get all my apps but i still need to dl some missing data. For e.g if we look at Nova 3 (it's a game). The app is being restored which is a like 70ish mb but the additional data like 800 mb that is annexed to the game has to be downloaded again. Is that normal
There is an option in Preferences (menu - preferences)
"Backup app external data" ---- Set to always or set the size in: -
"Select external data by max size"
Edit: - Make sure "Restore app External data" is also selected!
Edit: Noticed I had not set the above, and now redoing my backups.
Did that mate but it's still not working I mean when I check the size of my backup it doesn't reflect what it.

I normally do batch backups ""Backup all user apps + system data" (which is incorrectly labeled should be system and user app data).
I can see by the size of my backups that data has been backup in different file than the app.
Usually a file with the extension .tar.gz
Some apps/games maybe badly configured, that TiBu can not find the associated data.
Now that would be a real shame any other app then that can get the job done?!
