Having always rooted my phones I never had an issue backing up apps and data via Titanium backup but am now looking for a solution to back up apps and their data on my non-rooted Z2.
Having just flashed the latest Z2 firmware via Flashtool which wipes the phone, I've restored backups I had made with Sonys Back Up and Restore app only to find it didn't backup all it said it did, so had a number of apps and data missing.
Can anyone recommend a solution to this

I was in the same boat as yourself, Ive found a good one is HELIUM, plus helium will state what apps don't have a backup option coded into them so unlike sonys own app u wont be annoyed when some apps do/don't backup Also Helium allows cloud backups as well as internal and external sd card backups
Im currently using helium for apps and Mybackup pro for my text message backups as I found heliums message backups were weirdly in the opposite date order to normal use( instead of latest being at bottom of list it was at top)
Thanks mate, will give Helium a try

Just confiming, does Hellium doesnt back up the app data like TB?
I know ive read somewhere there is an app by chainfire for app and data backup for non rooted but at first glance it seem a bit long winded so never bothered with it.
I used easy backup which restored my apps, sms, mms, call log etc all no probs but yeah problem was no data backed up so had to set them all up like email, settings etc all over again.
I understand Unlocking and Rooting an Xperia is a tough task. But the stock ROM is good enough.
A good article here. It helped me and it may help you too buddy.

well your not gonna get the same level of backup due to lack of root, but for me it saved things like game progression(i.e angry birds) but didn't save things like custom widget sets in HD widgets app. But not the end of the world.
Ive started looking at my backups a bit more in detail and asking do I really need a backup of some apps, as some are just install-login to app and use no custom data to speak of to really backup. Or other apps like XDA app and game progression which have custom settings and progression Id like to save.

bro, Last time I used Helium is when it was called Carbon, I tried it with Xperia S and it didn't worked at all, after that I saw this in it's description in Play Store
Note: Some Sony devices have issues with Helium. This includes the Xperia S and Xperia Z. Sony has *disabled* backup on these devices completely.

I lost hope after that, so does it work now on Z2 ?
I'm still not in a hurry to have Z2 as there's still no way to root without unlocking the bootloader, and I will not unlock the bootloader without backing up the TA partition first ( which requires root )... so I've been looking for a way to copy some of my app's data from my old phone to Z2, I used to use Titanium Backup always but you know, no root = no TB...
so can you confirm please that you used Helium to backup AND restore app's data to the Z2 ? or you're just guessing from a non-xperia experience ?

I used helium to backup my apps on my s3 then install them on my z2, ive also backedup up my current apps on my z2 since, but like ive already said helium cant backup certain apps as the app developer hasn't allowed backup function. Helium did the job for me for my game progression and a few apps where I wanted current setup saved.
Can anyone recommend a system backup/restore app that I can use to save my apps and settings, then later restore them to a new phone? I tried Helium last time but when I tried to restore my backup it told me that my backup file was invalid, so I'd like to try something more reliable this time!
I'm running stock Android 7, not rooted.
Titanium Backup (paid version) is what I've been using for years since it backs up to the external SD - plus I use the regular Google sync to backup my settings etc. That way I'm back online pretty fast after flashing a new rom

Unfortunately I'm not rooted so can't use Titanium Backup
Hello everyone
So I've been using root and Titanium backup like since forever, not I switched to a Xaomi phone and I can't root it anytime soon. I want to transfer my apps and my app data the way Titanium does it. I don't just want to install apps in batch. I want to back up and restore apps user files
I looked into different apps but it seems like all of them.just backup apps without used data. I tried (to try) an app called cloneit and it kept disconnecting instantly. I didn't troubleshoot it because I wasn't sure it will even do what I want.
Any suggestions?
note 8, pie, 9.0, alexndr rom. rooted.
Does anyone know of a way to completely backup the phone. app data, emails. Essentially im looking for something that backups up everything. Its ncrypted so cant use twrp. I have titanium but its a long process backing up. Anything that can backup to sd or on pc. Thanks.
You can't do it without root access.
If you have root access than titanium backup is perfect for this job or using recovery backup option you can backup whole phone.
Unfortunately without root access your options are very limited.
You may try to do so by giving all access / previlages to your phone to Google and Samsung and using their apps making a cloud backups.

Hello,
I have an LG Nexus 4 (Android 6.0).
I have an app which I haven't updates since ages. There is an update available on the Play Store which I would like to do. I would like though first to backup the current version and its data before updating in order to be able to rollback. Is there any way to do this without root? Or is there a way to backup the current state of Nexus and restore it later?
Backup App ONLY
MyAPK (free) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andatsoft.myapk.fwa
Backup App & Data
Migrate (free) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...20-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool.3862763/
And youll want all three apps (for restore as well as backup)
Main app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate
Flasher Module: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate.flasher
Helper Module: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=balti.migrate.helper
Note: You'll need root (most likely Magisk) to backup app data by any app data backup app
Note 2: Not all apps are backed up via googles internal method, thats an option each dev has to enable for each app...people usually find this out the hard way. Hence why root and a proper backup method is the way to go
Note 3: Migrate is what i use almost daily for backing up apps and app data as i switch between ROM's
