titanium backup files - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My memory card is corrupt and I am trying to save the titanium backup files. I was able to use a program to recover my files but I can't see what folders they were in.
What is the extension or filename for a titanium backup file?
Thanks

/sdcard/TitaniumBackup is the directory.

backup before rom upgrade

Is there a way to backup everything before upgrade the rom so I dont have to reload all apps and settings?
Spb Backup?
is there a crack for it
Don't !!!
When I used a backup manager, I totally messed up my ROM.
I didn't pass it's bootscreen anymore, and ended up bringing it to a store to restore the ROM, because I couldn't syns it anymore with ActiveSync.
Just manually back up your files and settings!
RE
So what are the steps to manually backup settings, & voice speed dial
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.

Thank you
so the pim.vol is where the contacts are stored? nice..
would it be smarter to copy to sim card ?
I tried copying the pim.vol but it tells me that the file is in use? how do i back it up?

You have to use total commander or gsfinder (must haves and both free, i prefer gsfinder) on the device to do it. When you reset you have to rename pim.vol to say pim.vo and them copy and paste it from your storage card.

The problem wasn't so much that you tried to restore a backup, the problem was that you tried to restore a FULL backup. If you had used a backup manager that allowed custom restorations from the backup file then you would've been able to restore just the files without also restoring the registry keys and settings which is probably what killed your phone.

HELP!!! - PPCPimBackup

I used the PPCPimBackup program to backup my data for my diamond before installing a new rom. But its default location is \storage card which I cannot find after re-installing a new rom. Where can I find the backup file? Can anyone help me to restore my data? PLEASE HELP

maybe you have killed your BackUpFile,
i think PPCPimBackup have create a own folder \storage card,
because you dont have an \storage card on DiAMOND, you have an \Internal Storage
greetz
I have looked through all folders but cant see the \storage card folder
PPCPimBackup did show"backup finished" but I just couldnt find the backup file
any clue?

maybe is stored on \programs\ppPIMbackup folder or \programfiles??
just a tip, you dont need the application,
just copy the file pim.vol for contacts and todo`s
if you want to save also your email, copy the \windows\messaging\ folder

i made the same mistake first time I used it. It will say backup finished but just above it there will be an error saying storage not found. You manually have to change it to internal storage. So sorry, it didn't backup anything.
after copying the file pim.vol, where to put it?
do you have any idea to restore text messages?
thanks a lot

i save everytime 2 copys from the pim.vol [email protected] & [email protected] PC,
when i reBuild (after Hardreset) my Device,
just rename the existing pim.vol (as you want) for example mip
then copy the pim.vol which previously has been saved with the contacts,
take a softreset, delete the renamed pim(mip).vol
DONE.

When you backup by Titanium you have *.tar.gz and *.properties files.
Those files should be in /sdcard/TitaniumBackup folder.
i did put them and i didn't see something new in titanium

[Q] rom toolbox/ rom manager

What phone do you pick so i can make a back up .. the lg revolution isnt on there?? Does the other lg phone on the list work the same??
Rom Manager doesn't work with the revo as far as I know
O ok ... well thanks for the fast reply lol good thing i didnt buy it i woulda been mad ha
So should i just use titanium back up?? Is that good?
I only use ROM Toolbox. I will defer to others who have used Titanium on that question.
I use the app manager in ROM Toolbox to backup apps.
Is the only way to make a complete system/rom backup in cwm ?? And if so were does it save so i can delete old ones and keep them fresh back ups
What exactly are you trying to do?
I want to make a backup that i can find thru a file manager so i can save it to my laptop for back up ... but i dont wana jus back up an app or two i need everything a complete system backup
Cwm will do that. My backups are saved to my sd card.

I'll also confirm that CWM is best for a full backup image. I use Titanium Backup to backup my data and apps. It works great for that purpose.

.img and md5. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps and stuff use CWM to do a full backup of everything.
I ment folder not file sorry ...
What folder are the back ups saved in . And are you able to rename them? So its not just the date and time?
I have not tried it, but you should be able to rename the folder with Root Explorer. They save in the following location:
/mnt/sdcard/ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup

I have a folder "clockworkmod" on my sd that my backups are saved to.
So when I open the "external sd" through a file explorer, "clockworkmod" is a folder with my backups in there. From there I hookup to my pc and transfer what I want saved.
