What is the option for a scheduled backup, to backup only modified data (i.e. changed settings) from apps?

before upgarding to a different rom, what needs to be backed up and what needs to be restored after the rom upgrade. this is in addition to user apps
in CWR:
Make a Backup (this is a snapshot of your entire system)
Titanium Backup:
Backup all user apps + Data
I also backup Wifi Hotspots (passwords) and bookmarks
SMS Backup +
For all texts and MMS
LauncherPro / ADW:
Backup settings in their menus

Just to be clear, and correct me if I'm wrong, you don't want to backup anything in red on Titanium. Or at least you don't want to restore it if you do back it up since they have been known to cause problems.
no, i only backup/restore what i listed.
so i have done
BACKUP
1) nandroid backup with CWM for emergency
2) backup system and apps with titanium
3) backup contacts with phone explorer (don't want sync with google account)
4) backup sms with sms backup & restore
RESTORE
1) restore system data with titanium backup (only green marked)
2) restore apps with titanium (apps and data)
3) restore contacts with phone explorer
4) restore sms with sms backup & restore
after doing this i only miss call protocoll, is there anyway to restore this ?

By call protocol, do you mean the call logs you want to restore? If so, you can use call logs backup and restore which is made by the same dev who makes sms backup and restore. Sorry if this is not what you meant.
I know titanium backup can backup and restore, Apps and its Data.
I also know some apps create directory on sdcard and stores some data on it,
Does these data are the only ones being back up?
How bout other apps that does not create directory on sdcard,
are the settings saved and can be restored?
What exactly does titanium backed up? and how does it restore app?
The following are the instances:
*Launcher Pro settings
*Location Profile like Llama (Events, Rules, profiles, settings)
*Dolphin Browser Settings
Are these settings restored?
Titanium backup (and others) don't backup something from the SD-card (exception is only the removal with android self). Only what is in the internal memory from the app is stored will be backup.
is there a way to backup the schedule list and filters in titanium backup .. i find it really annoying that i have to recreate those after every wipe.
cheers
Open Titanium Backup
Menu -> Preferences -> Auto-sync TB settings
Is there a way to stop TB from putting a notification icon when the scheduled backups complete?
Something to add for anyone browsing this...never cancel one of the backups being restored in batch mode. It seems to send TB into an endless loop.
After soft bricking my phone and having to restore from a two month old backup I have decided to keep everything backed up and up to date to minimise future headaches.
My intention is to take a full TB of all apps and system data (done) and then work out a way of using the schedule function to keep this up to date with any changes that get made.
I tried it by using 'Backup new user+system apps & newer versions', but when I restored 'missing apps with data' to a dual booted secondary rom, it only gave me the applications in the state they were in when I took the initial full backup.
What is the best way of capturing any data updates? 'Redo backups for modified data' sounds right, but will this include new applications that I have installed since the original TB?
Thanks.

First the obvious: Did you run the scheduled backup so that it refreshed the data?
Now on to more advanced: What do you have "Max backup history" set to? Did you change the backup folder that's used? If so, what did you choose when it asked if you wanted to move the backups from the old folder to the new one?
Advice: I would't do a full backup on a scheduled basis. I would imagine that it could cause problems if you are actively using an app and the scheduled backup runs. I have my "Max backup history" set to 1 and then overwrite the existing backups. If I feel there's some need to keep an older backup for some reason, I just create a new folder with the date of the backup as the folder name and do the backup manually. Hope this helps somehow.
