It will just make a backup of your stock rom or custom rom including your photos, apps, music, etc
Nandroid backup is backup all your data (system and rom too) except SD Card Nandroid backup uses .zip .tar.gz file, Nandroid backup will be created as a flashable zip and Titanium Backup (.tar.gz) so, if you lose your data you can flash through CWM and Titanium Backup but if you stop the operation of making a flashable zip (like App2Zip) or it stopped by system, you can't using that flashable zip becouse the file is not fully maked to .zip (even Root explorer can't open it)
okay that's it (SORRY MY ENGLISH IS BAD BECOUSE I'M INDONESIAN AND I'M A CHILD THAT HAVE A EXPRIENCE OF ROOTING :silly: )

Hit Thanks if my reply HELPES YOU
I used titanium backup but i think flashing through cwm will easier and faster.. Gonna try app 2 zip
If i helped you please hit thanks
Tit Backup is faster if u hv a 100 apps installed. It takes about 1.7gb of space and my rom takes 400mb so total 2.1
if i take a nandroid backup it takes about 4gb. so u know im saving a llot of space
also if my device gets messed up i can either flash my rom or just use odin and then titanium backup magic.
also to change rom while retaining all the app data titan... all da way
How do u backup and restore your rom in titanium backup?.. And wat is an update. Zip..,?
If i helped you please hit thanks
Why is so difference in size between titanium backup and cwm
Sent from my GT-S5282 using XDA Free mobile app
Okay this why the size are different
Titanium are using BusyBox and data are included
And CWM is zip that compress data but update-binary is about 250 KB and CWM is a single zip with some files (including multi apk and data < data is optional) inside dont like TiBckp(Titanium) That use only single app and data only

I know about Titanium, just to start with.
My question is about backup files using CWM, if I install a new rom and restore my system/cache/data will the phone work normally after that?
My main goal is to keep my installed apps as they are on the new ROM, so i guess data is the only thing i need to backup by right?
Thanks in advance!
Backup system + data using titanium backup.
Also backup current rom using cwm incase anything goes wrong while flashing new rom.
After u instal new rom instal titanium backup and restore.

Aha, so titanium does all the work? Thanks!
Ok, I need your advice on this one cause I am a bit confused...
Ok lets say I am using a certain rom and have installed all the apps that I want. I have done a nandroid backup in case of something goes wrong.
Now, I want to flash another rom but want the apps that I already was using to installed in the new rom also. I know that I can backup with titanium but my concern is that when I will restore them will create duplicate folders or files on sd... is that going to happen or am I talking bull?
Can someone please suggest me a procedure to safely back up apps in order to use with another rom without messing up my sd folders or create duplicate files?
Also when I'll backup my apps do I have to back them up with their data also or not?
My apps are located on sd-ext and phone, none on SD so when I will restore them will they be placed where they were before?
It doesn't create duplicates.
You can use nandroid backup or titanium backup

so after flashing new rom, can I use advanced restore to restore only data and sd-ext?
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:

You could also use yaffey to extract anything from a CWM backup:

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.
A popular function of the donate version of Titanium Backup is making a flash able zip to restore apps via recovery. I will be covering the steps to manage this successfully.
1.Open main menu of Titanium Backup and go to Special Features. There will be an option create update.zip. (This will only backup the apk of titanium Backup) Name it as TitaniumBackup xxxxxx and create zip.
2.Now open the batch section of Titanium Backup and locate the `Create update.zip from apps+data'. Proceed with the making of the zip.
3.If you have factory reseted or changed rom' then finish the setup of ROM and reboot into recovery. First flash the (TitaniumBackup xxxxxx) zip and reboot again.
4. Open titanium backup and grant supersu or superuser permissions. Reboot back into recovery.
5.Flash update.zip and let the process finish. It will reboot automatically and proceed to restore data. After the finish of this process reboot one last time if it asks you to.

personally I still think backup is better instead make flashable zip, it took too long .................
I prefer batch restore too, purely because I like to check through the apps just to make sure apps that I don't want don't get restored

You can do that while making the zip. And its faster then manually installing each app.

Hi everyone,
I had upgraded my Galaxy Gio from stock rom to custom rom (CM 7.2 based), and now I want to restore just a few apps + data (for e.g. Memo) and Contacts (from stock rom) from my Nandroid backup, so I want it should be on the current custom rom.
How far I tried to do so, I could'nt get it done. I tried with NANDROID MANAGER, I installed it and tried to restore some apps + their data, (the apps was in previous rom in System/Apps so Nandroid Manager automatically wanted to install it in system/apps), ok, the program showed as it's installed with no broblems, BUT after reboot as it required, NOTHING HAPPENED, so I looked in system/apps and data/data with root explorer, those apps & data were there, but it was not installed.....
I also tried to restore the Contacts from Nandroid (Contacts Storage), and I ended up with erasing all contacts I had currently on the phone (anyway that wasn't a problem, cause i had an regular backup of it).
So I would like to understand what the problem is, and how is it possible to have my previous memos and contacts restored to my current rom?!
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE?!
Thanks in advance.
If this were me I would make a nandroid of current ROM, wipe clean, restore nandroid of old ROM, use titanium backup (preferred but there are others) to backup apps and data (I use a different app for contacts and SMS/call log but I believe titanium can do this too) then I would wipe clean, restore nandroid, restore what is needed from titanium
May sound like a lot but should be finished in less than a half hour with all

Thank you for replying.
But I had read some posts that if the current rom is EXT4 based and stock rom is RFS based, then CWM wouldn't restore the backup normally (because the sd card has to be rfs format - something like this if I understood). So i'm a little bit afraid to do that cause I don't want to get stuck on boot....
Any sugestion for that??
Thanks in advance.
Well sd-card is always formatted as fat/ntfs irrespective of the rom....
Sent from my Spice Mi-515 using xda app-developers app
Like in the post above you will never have an SD formatted in rfs, but there are some recoveries that have issues restoring backups depending on the format the backup was made in but this doesn't appear to be your case (like if a backup was made in yaffs2 but recovery uses tar) so I really don't think this should be an issue for you. Having said that I have never used your phone before and if you're very concerned you should find another who has to ask. But I'm still 99% sure you're safe to do this
