Hi,
I backed my sd card contents to my pc, my rooted incredible was a mess it was running CM7. I wiped the card flashed PB31IMG, a stock+ ROM then flashed MIUI now how do I get my backup onto the phone? So my apps + all the information and upgrades are like they were. Ie. all the money and levels I have got to in a app such as drag racing, my Handcent settings messages etc.
I am not sure how to copy the just the names of all the folders so you can see them if that would be more helpful to you please let me know how. If I could get my backed up removeable disk on here without the files I dont need I would be so grateful. Thanks
If you made a backup before you flashed you will have to restore to the backup and backup the apps using titanium backup. If not, sorry, all is lost...
She wants all her app and app info, how do I make backup of everything and install it on her Gnote??
do just like your home desktop pc, remove the phone hard drive and put it on the new phone! j/k. haha
get titanium backup, it can backup all your apps, data, and setting! but remember to backup the data to microSD, it default is backup to phone memory.
I use mybackup pro ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5yZXJ3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuTXlCYWNrdXBQcm8iXQ.. )
It backs up your apps and data just like titanium backup but it also allows you to backup and transfer your SMS and MMS messages as well as call logs , bookmarks, contacts etc
If you don't want to root, use
App List Backup - Free and makes a list of the installed apps; it will not save the app data (you must have root for that) but it makes installing the same apps quick
Also
SMS Backup - Makes a backup of you text messages
After you backup the apps and sms's, copy the internal SD card to a PC then copy it to the Note's internal SD card
As a side note (hahaha)
MAKE SURE HER CONTACTS ARE BACKED UP - Log into gmail on a PC to make sure
Hi!
When I backup app + data with Titanium backup, it doesn't seem to backup the entire data for the app.
For example, I have installed NFS Hot pursuit and Max Payne mobile and downloaded the game data which is around 600 MB and 1.3 GB respectively. Now when I backup these apps with Titanium Backup (Batch > App+Data backup), the backup size in the Titanium backup folder is only around 50 - 60 Mb.
How do I get Titanium backup to to backup the game and entire game data, so that in case I restore the game after wiping the phone, I don't have to re-download the entire game data.
Please help.

Questions belong to Q&A.
The game data is already on the SD card. This 50MB backup is the apk + some or no files. The rest is on /sdcard/Android/data.

My apologies for not posting the question in Q&A section.
So, do I need to manually copy the game data stored in /sdcard/Android/data for future restoration. Is is not possible to get this backup done through Titanium backup or any other backup application?
I think that paid version of TB supports backuping of all application data, even from SD card.
I am using Titanium Backup Pro.

the data its backing up is cache not the downloaded game data itself and all the downloaded files, only game save data and etc data/data/com.yourgamehere
and to not delete the downloaded data you can pull the downloaded data which is probably in android/data/com.yourgamehere
or gameloft/games/yourgamehere

Gameloft games has a regular content and a downloadable content,
the downloadable content isn't backed up so you need to pull if from the folder which i stated above
I have 8 GB of map data placed on my external SC card related to several Navigators ... happy that Titanium Backup do NOT include this kind of data.
Once a while I backup my entire external SDcard.
exactly. titanium backup is not supposed to backup that amount of data because it is pointless.
it copies your apps and data from the /data/ partition to the /sdcard partition, but games by gameloft and ea, as well as navigation data is already on the sdcard, no need to have it there twice.
whenever you make a factory reset, you usually format /data/ only and not the sd card (or your titanium backup would be gone as well), so there is really no point to it.

Take a look here:
[Guide] Types of Android backups

You can just go into settings, there's a "Backup External Data" option, just activate it, and right below set the maximum size of the backup date, I believe the default limit is 32Mb, so if you want Max Payne or so you just need to increase that limit to 1.5Gb or something. There's no need for extra apps or whatever, it's just a setting.
Thanks everyone for resolving my query....
Cheers!!

Does this actually work? Whenever i flash a new ROM, i always erase all of the sdcard as well in order to be sure i dont have anything i dont need there. I keep my TB backup in the extSd and also the .apk of TB there. Can i really backup downloaded data of my games? E.g. i have almost 4 GB of downloaded data from games and i would like to keep it. I've set the option with the external data to "always on" im making a backup right not. It indeed takes some time to finish it and that makes me happy. Lets hope it ll work.

Try it and you will know if works
I made the mistake of relying upon Titanium Backup when I was trying to restore games I accidentally deleted while setting up Directory Bind (saw that the original files were still there in file explorer and deleted them, they were of course the illusion of the original files that Directory Bind spoofs the system with, Doh!). It's always AFTER you lose files that you realise the steps you should have taken to back them up. In future I'll just do a full manual backup as well! Such is life!
Recuva file recovery probably not much help for this one.
UPDATE: Recuva recovered all deleted game data from the SD card! Get in!
It used to work flawlessly for me. Recently it has not worked for me at all.
EDIT: And I figured out why! A lot of games have started to keep their external data in encrypted binary blobs as *.obb files located in folders under sdcard/Android/obb/ and Titanium does not currently seem to look for these. I've submitted an enhancement request for this.

I have experienced issues with some games like Ski Safari, which I am unable to export to third party devices, probably the savegame is encrypted and only works in the device where it was generated.
Also, consider that some games like GTA or Asphalt store a lot of MB or even GB in the obb folder.

I've got Titanium configured to backup external data no matter how large, and I'm not moving it across devices. I'm pretty sure it just isn't checking that folder for things to back up.

How to backup obb files with Titanium Backup?
Hello, I have Titanium Backup PRO and I usually back up entire applications including all external data, especially big games, so if I need to restore, would not need to download a lot of data again.
However, I have had problems with some games like Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat 3. Even if the first has 1.16 GB of data and the second 1.35 GB installed, when I backup them the size of it is less than 100mb. TB is already configured to backup all external data and no size limitation. I noticed that unlike the other games, these that are not doing the full backup saves their large package of data as a Obb file.
Therefore, If possible, I would like to know how to do a full backup of these games including all external data (especially Obb ) with Titanium Backup...
Thanks!
Hi, is there anyway to backup apps so that i dont lose save files? (so i dont have to restart from the beginning of the game each time)
It'd be best if there was some way to move apps + their saves files to the external SD card (also is it necessary to format extSD card before flashing ROMs that need full wipe?)
I heard titanium backup might be able to do this, but if i full wipe my internal sd card titanium back up + backup file also gets deleted.
Thanks.

Does titanium backup also restore save files and settings?
It backups and restores the application data storage.
If an app stores it's saves or some content on the sdcard, then that particular conten is not stored since it technically does not belong to the app and thus Titanium has no way of knowing what to backup.
I can however recommend for savegames etc to sync those folders on the sdcard with Dropbox. Not only will you have an offsite backup but it also includes the history of the last 30 or 90 days so if you f%#@ up ingame you can restore your old save.

Which folders do I backup? does drop also back up the app itself
Back up everything just in case, it's there for if you ever need it.
Luckily I can help you as I made the mistake last night of restoring system data.
First of all back up EVERYTHING and place it in your external SD card if you wish.
When you've wiped the phone download Titanium Backup again and restore "missing apps + data" just the missing apps and data. Do NOT restore the system files, it will result in everything to stop functioning.
friends and developers please help me.....
i don't know i have posted this thread in the correct area!!! but i need really help....
i have reads all about helium backup(which is use to take backup of data in non rooted mobile) and used it and taken the backup of my datas of some games... but the problem is that i can only take the backup of 'data' not 'SD card data'... so i want to take the backup of both,wat to do???
if we can't then tell me how to move SD card data to internal data then i can easily take the backup of data with helium backup
and also tell me is there any way to save our games data(i.e, preferences, settings, etc) directly only on internal(called 'data) not on 'SD card data'
