Use titanium backup.
The best there is and most used.
It can backup only data or app and data and many many more.

back up android system to pc
when im installing a custom rom i normally do a system back up from cwm but that information takes up space on my phone. Is their a way to export that information to my pc or do the same type of backup to my pc so i dont have to use that space on my phone.

You can always do a nandroid from recovery and copy to pc.
Or look here for online nandroid.
It makes a nandroid backup to a cloud.

you actually have "batch" option in titanium backup trial version itself, using which you can backup the apps based on certain scenarios
Clockworkmod backup. Then when switching, go to recovery, advanced restore and restore /data only.

Best way to backup the S3

Hi there, I'm kinda new to android and was wondering: is there a way to back up the S3 like the iPhone? Where everything gets backed up into a file and if i were to reformat my phone I can just restore it and everything will be there. Thanks. :angel:
I really like Go Backup. Never had an issue with it, even from going to stock firmware to CM9 or 10, which usually ruins titanium backups.
But the one file backup would be a nandroid, which is done through recovery.

Yes you can restore but it is not advisable..will create conflicts and FCs..Best bet is to restore all the apps with data from TB..all the apps will have their settings intact..only problem is TW launcher but if you are going to AOSP then that is not a problem...otherwise backup TWlauncher also and restore it with Data..force closes may come though..
Titanium Backup works great for me, but be careful restoring system aps.
Make a nandroid backup just in case you mess something up

+1.......the most overlooked, but most important backup of all, everything else is just a matter of data loss, but losing efs= goodbye precious!

[Q]Restoring app+data only from backup in a new ROM

So i backed up my phone via CWM before custom ROM installation. After installation of the new ROM, is there any way to just restore the app+data from the previous backup ??
Yes i know i can use TB but i want to know if there is a way to restore from the CWM backup I created !!
i tried google search n all but no satisfying answer

As far as I know, cwm backs up both user apps and system apps with their data so if u restore it from there, the old sytem apps and data might conflict with the new one...so I would advise against it.
Use cwm and completely restore ur old Rom, make a backup usng tb and then flash ur new Rom... Safest way!

You can simply backup your apps and data via TB and
After installing a new ROM just restore APP+DATA via TB... best way to sort and backup and restore apps individually :thumbup:

On some clockworkmod versions you can do an advanced restore and just choose data. Never tried it but maybe give it a shot

Not recommendable....if your phone is on different ROM before backup, restoring the backup data into different ROM will make your phone bootloop (really bad cases) or lost statusbar/setting and etc (light cases)....
since he already make a backup then TB is the best choices...

You Think????
FYI : Backup from CWM contains the whole pack of the previous ROM....when you choose to restore data only, it restore all data including User Apps Data and System Apps Data....when System Apps Data is restore into a different ROM, you bet it going to make your phone into bootloop....
you are welcome to try it if you don't believe me....

I was talking about the selective backup of nandroid backup from TB. Ofc in a CWM data restore all apps(system+user) get restored. Im well aware of that and I wont be trying that
Anyways i think this tool is the best option right now. So thanks iOneX for the info :good:
A bit late I guess..
Well, I come here six months later, but Google brought me here...
I guess you're already using Online Nandroid Backup combined with Nandroid Manager. Just two days ago I restored user apps+data with Nandroid Manager from a backup created through Online Nandroid Backup. Both apps from H3r3t1c are really useful, specially working together.
Aside of this advice (surely already not needed) I was looking after a script to restore those user apps+data from a backup. I wanna include that script in my list of zips-to-flash in ZipInstaller
I'd appreciate any help. Cheers.

I want to upgrade to CM 10.1 but..

Hello everyone,I want to upgrade CM 10.1 but is it possible to back up my all apps or everything in phone now.After I jump CM I want to use my phone like previous.As short as I dont want to loose my info.Thanks.
Titanium backup for your apps and data, sms backup for your texts. Sync contacts to google, call log, there's an app for that as well but can't remeber the name.
Stuff on the external sd can be left as it is, make sure you back up any photos etc from your internal sd.
Wipe everything when you're installing cm and everything should be there

i don't think it can possible
you might simply root your phone to take a backup
only way is copy those data to another memory and make and take backup of apk files of the app

This is possible using a few different solutions:
Helium (formerly Carbon, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup)
Holo Backup (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36499906#post36499906)
Android Ultimate Backup Tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844032)
Android Ultimate Backup gets my vote.
ADB is your friend lol
why not download some adb script to backup your phone?
or just do some research on adb backup command
