Titanium Backup...but you need the paid version to do what you are describing.
Titanium Backup is about the best but don't expect it to work perfect..I have paid version on mine and partners phone and on both Titanium Backup often just closes and you have to restart and continue from where it stopped... As yet I have NOT found a good solution for backing up and restoring on Android...
This is one of the reasons my WinMo is still my primary Phone and Android is simply a TOY....
Give Titanium Backup a try may be ok for you...But you will need to paid for it to have the so called on click solution...
thanx guys i will try the paid version and comment about it here soon
Astro has a nice Backup/Restore feature too and its free. For me it always worked perfekly as it creates APKs from your apps (but it does not resore APPdata) and it does not do it in one step because you have to always install the apps separately.
I just threw this in here^^
Titanium Backup is the best for this. It has batch backup and install. So you can install all your backed up files at once, not clicking through each one like all the other programs (Astro, AppBrain). Also it will backup your layout as well so you get the apps right back where they were on your homescreens.
Like mentioned above though it can sometimes be buggy but it is well worth it. Knocked off about 3-4 hours of work each time I flashed a new ROM as I didn't spend all that time messing with apps and layout etc.
Titanium Backup when restore will it ask for each app to give access or not??? as i am using app backup and restore for that it does ask me for each app to install or not.
You need the paid version for it not to keep asking
Hi,
i'm slightly confused about the different backup applications available and i hope you guys could aid me =)
1. ClockworkMod Recovery: if we follow the steps in the ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy S i9000 post, will it back up the entire FW along with its custom roms, apps, contacts, sms etc?
so would that mean that i could reflash this backed up copy if the newer FW is not to my liking? alternatively is the apps and settings within transferable to new firmware?
2. Are there any apps that solely backups the sms, contacts, apps etc so that we can apply to the newly flashed FW? (so that we wont need to reinstall the entire applications etc, and also lose all the sms and settings). Eg titanium, or backup pro?
3. Lastly, alternatively is there anyway i could transfer these settings out from the phone prior to flashing? and subsequently reintroduce them back once flashing is complete.
Thanks for helping!
I would also like to know answers to these questions because I want to backup my ENTIRE phone (firmware+apps+sms+contacts+settings+...) if my phone ever gets broken so I could collect my warranty.
And if I flash to newest firmware I will not lose all my apps+sms+contacts+settings+... cause it would be a pain to reinstall all the apps and update all my contacts & settings.
currently i use mybackup pro
it backup my apps, contacts and SMS
but it doesn't restore my settings
i search a tool to restore the phone (without the firmware itself)
so when i flash a new firmware i only need to install that tool or run that tool (if it is a script for example) and it will restore all apps/settings/contacts/sms/images....
reply to above
same.. just like u guys... i was also looking for answers and help when i created this post.. hoping that someone could point us in the right direction =)
there are programs that can backup solely the SMS or call log, just search SMS backup or Call log backup and you will find it
for contacts, i use Kies; for app, i use Astro.... that's the programs i used when i flash my SGS from the original one to JP3
if you want full restore, go for Titanium, but hat requires root

CWM restores back your backup to its original settings, because it takes an image of your phone os. It is just like your disk image backup of your pc or notebook. Hence, this is useful when you don't like the custom roms you have just flashed.
Titanium Backup backups all your apps and settings, but the shortcoming of it is you will have to spend a little more time to relayout your homescreen and also tweak a little of your settings. For example, I used the Missed Call 0.9.2 and I did the backup cum settings. But I still need to tweak back the actual ringtones for those settings manually.
Most will say that CWM is better, but that is not necessary. Titanium Backup will be most useful when you have flashed a rom and found that you want to keep the new rom. Now, having TB to do your backup will be very much easier in this case.
The others like Mybackup Pro, backup sms, mms, those are found in the market. Kies is good if you want to keep your contacts in the phone (not SIM or Google)
Hope this explanation helps you guys.
Good evening guys,
I tried to backup my diary entries using Titanium Backup, but when I tried to restore them on the new Firmware they didn't appear. Same for my SMS Messages...
Could you tell what exactly I have to backup?
Thank you for your help!
Backup Methods Before Flashing?
I've been using MyBackupPro, but it does not save any of my settings. I have to set up a lot of stuff like email accounts and so on every time I flash.
Is there a better way?
Have you tried titanium backup? I find it works best.

No I haven't yet. I read reviews of MyBackupPro, saying it's the best So I bought it.
Does Titanium Backup save preferences, including passwords and email settings?

Hey,
I believe it does, it saves all of my preferences with games like Alsphalt so it should do the same with your e-mail.
Try it, it's free.
stupid question: Is somebody working on a custom recovery image with Nandroid or something?

I hope someone is, that would be best option, titanium is brilliant though and has saved me a few times, I have it scheduled to backup everynight.
I also use Mybackup pro for sms and call logs etc.
neither can bring your homescreen widgets back as before.
Is there anything that saves your facebook/google links in contacts? That's the thing I find most annoying having to go back through them one by one...
Titanium backup in its current form is not functioning correctly on my phone aswell as many other galaxys users
yes - unfortunately Titanium Backup currently won't backup the databases :-(
Best backup app for galaxy?
Is there anything out there which will backup our apps, contacts etc before I flash a new rom to my phone? Is it possible in kies? I'm loath to have to link my face book and google mail contacts again
Backup apps/settings to PC? possible?
Hi all, i have seen many threads regarding backup apps such as wave/titanium pro etc but im wondering if its possible to backup to a PC?
as much as its a naughty word, i liked apples way of backing up using itunes. you simply plugged in your phone and voila its backing up into a friendly restorable format.
i just want a simple backup of my device encase i flash to others roms.
is this possible?
i don't know of such application.
but what is so bad about backing it up to the External SD card?
you want your backup to be with you all the time, so in case of "OMG! happens", you can easily Hard Reset, then restore from backup from the SD card.
once on the SD card, you can easily copy it over to your PC, the next time you hookup your USB cable.
if you want it done automatically, you can always create a script on your PC to grab X files from X folder every time the USB connects to X device
I love the backup software from PalmOS, they works automatically just as you wanted.
I never found a good one that actually works on WinMobile
in Android it's almost perfect, it just missing the part to sync the backups to the desktop automatically.
But that's a minor thing, as you can do the batch command mentioned above.
you can try this one for size, see if you like it.

Nandroid v2.0 - Full NAND backup and restore tool
else you can go for PAID applications such as... Titanium Backup and many other ones
never thought of it like that.
as for backup apps which one is proving decent? i see alot about wave and titanium backup.
Yeah... Titanium Back-up is great. You can even try MyBackup Pro. Both are equally good.
MyBackup Pro restores all the apps perfectly but is not able to link those to the Android Market...
what do you guys use to backup all your data before changing firmware
I already flashed my girlfriend's galaxy S twice
and each time i was installing and configuring the device as she want...
Once again there is a new firmware that correct some interesting part (GPS)
but i REALLY don't want to loose 2 hours of my time to
a: install the apps my gf has
b: configure the device (font, ring tone, volume ...)
so question : what are you using to save the time of installing/configurating...
thanks in advance
I'm also interested to know how you make it.. Thanks

yet it is just a safety backup so u can't use it in another custom rom (wich is probably the reason to do the backup)
there are a few options to extract items out of a nandroid backup tough, but i consider it a hassle

download kise into kise enter to syns and do it :fingers-crossed:
U can use Nandroid backup. For this you have to be root and CWM installed. There is plenty of intructions on how you can do that in the forum.
Hello,
I like to unlock Bl on Wednesday. When unlock my phone will be wiped. Can I make a local backup that I copy to laptop? I ask this because I will be on holiday and i tenet is terrible/bad. So cloud backup is impossible. What/Wich folder do I need to copy and restore to backup apps and data, when wiping. Install/flash TWRP and install custom rom
You can make up a local backup by going to settings→About phone→Backup and restore and then choosing either on device back up (mobile backup) or computer backup. Then copy the backup to PC and after flashing, copy the backup to phone and restore. For me, restoring this way works for restoring home screen and settings flawlessly. However, only some of the third party apps downloaded from playstore work, but others don't. In my experience, this backup method is not reliable for third party apps. I also tried super backup and swift backup from playstore. They also do not work reliably for me.
what is the name off the folder that i have to copy, where is it located
