CWM Nandroid as mentioned above is the best choice. It backs up everything including /system/ also use Root Explorer to keep a backup of all your /system/, Then there's also the deodexed files from the done_app incase you screw up.
Just Use CWM Nandroid, File Expert, ROOT Explorer... or search XDA.
You can find appropriate topics, to make yours copy.

Im helping a friend flash his SGS and I dont want a messed up product code or IMEI on his phone, can anyone provide the steps on how to make a FULL and COMPLETE bit by bit back up of the /efs folder?
Thanks!
Titanium backup comes to mind
else nandroid backup included with the ROM Manager from clockwork
just copyn it to sdcard is useless?
I used root explorer (you can find it on the market) and worked just fine when restored after jpc. Just copy the folder in a safe place (sd, pc, dropboox).
efs backup
i bought root explorer but it says i need to root my phone first before i can make a backup copy of the efs, is this right?
yes you need to be root to use rootexplorer .. see if z4root to root your phone works.
Sgs Tools from the market has a nice efs backup feature. Being paranoid I used Sgs Tools ALONG With a straight copy of the efs folder using Root Explorer... and yes, you can't even touch the efs folder unless you have rooted your phone.

Just wondering guys, is backing up the efs folder enough to preserve the IMEI number?
How would you go about restoring it if your IMEI number changed?
Thanks
Would backing up this folder enough to restore apps after wiping and flashing a new rom? I know this can be done via Titanium back up app, but all 3rd party apk apps are installed in this folder.

no parts of apps are installed elsewhere too such as custom folders or dbdata..
and some apps are installed to sd.
use titanium backup, mybackup pro, or appmgr to back up apps

Are there any reasons why we can't just back up a folder and then restore it which is a much easier step than working with Titanium etc...But I've the feeling that it's not that obvious and ta echnical whizzkid who would like to enlighten us about this would be greatly appreciated...
You can save your APKs in a folder you can copy them back but you have not installed them .

Some apk apps install just by tapping on them or is there a technical reason this should be avoided

Here is a DIY method to back up your apps manually. This should put this topic to rest. RIP!

Can someone point me to a thread explaining how to restore a nandroid I made in 902? I used ROM Manager's 5.0.2.5. I broke my screen and now have a new Bionic. I rooted it and updated to 902 and restored all my apps including ROM Manager and Bionic Bootstrap. I had ROM Manager install CWR 5.0.2.5 although I'm not sure if it worked, when I choose to boot into recovery, nothing happens. When I try Bionic Bootstrapper I get the OK to Bootstrap Recovery but when I chose Reboot Recovery it grants SU permission but nothing happens.
Should I not have both installed? Can someone suggest how to install a working recovery so I can make a B/U and it would be great if I could restore the 902 Nandroid I made previously.
I have searched the forums but most is pre-902 and none of it seems to work for me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try flashing another kernel. Also ensure the backup is on the sdcard in cwm folder.

To get CWM to work you need to flash bootstrapper first. Then open ROM manager and flash CWM. Now you have official CWM installed as recovery.
As to not finding your backups...do you rename them? You can't rename the backups without changing the md5sum file in the backup or when CWM looks for the backup it won't see it since md5sum doesn't match what it is looking for. I guess if you rename it you need to find the md5sum of that newly renamed file and put that sum in the md5sum file in the backup. Now CWM will see it.

Thanks Marshy, I actually got the Bionic Bootstrap to work and made a nandroid with that, I think renaming may be why my old ones seemed to disappear, however my Titanium Backups also seem gone, only my "Mybackup" files seem to still be on the card.
Should I be using ROM Manager instead and if so, should I delete bionic bootstrap or vice-versa?
Thanks so much for the noob help.

I definitely prefer just going into bootstrap recovery rather than using rom manager. I know for a fact you can rename nandroid backups and they will restore without doing anything with the md5 checksum. However, you cannot put a space in the name. That will cause an error. I always rename my nandroids and have never had one fail to restore using letters, numbers, and dashes (no spaces).
Also, your backups should be on the sdcard-ext in the /clockworkmod/backup folder.
I know there are a lot of apps for back up/restoring, but does anyone know any working for ICS? I have tried AppExtractor with ROM Manager, didn't work. The Message-app started to behave strange. Tried SMS Backup & Restore, was able to restore the sms but couldn't not open them.
I'm currently using NovaHD's ICS Rom.
You can restore your messages from /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and mmssms.db-journal in your nandroid backup (just extract and replace)
And your calls from /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database/contacts2.db and contacts2.db-journal
(Extract and replace)
Nandroid = CWM?
So, basically your saying that i should extract my backup and the rom, then find these folders extract the backup one to the rom and then zip it again?
Two options
#1 Restore your backup, copy the files to a temp folder on sdcard, flash your new rom and replace them
#2 Extract them from your backup and then replace them
It might be other solutions aswell but these are simple

just a small mention....file types from CM7 or Cm 9 are not the same with other GB formats....so are not comaptible....be careful with that.

Nope, just root and and root explorer (or similar)
You dont even need a computer
Or use nandroid browser from the market : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.goddchen.android.nandroidbrowser

from the stock to custom, it will be prefect...just make sure once you are rooted, backup your msgs and call logs by either apps or by backing the ROM totally....
Hope it helps
So, i installed root explorer, copied mmssms.db(no journal-file), flashed owain's rom, installed root explorer, replaced my mmssms.db file in the rom, rebooted and the SMS-client won't start.
Optimus, maybe this will help you:
This is "backup to gmail"
I have got this aplication (paid) but it`s works on ICS (owain 29)
Take a look on my screenshot.
sms backup & restore works perfectly for me, but no idea on that phone call log
Albatros2605, MoFosis, Thanks for your help guys, but managed to restore my SMS by using SMS Backup+, which copies everything to your gmail and then downloads it to restore the SMS.
Hi guys, I recently screwed the pooch on an upgrade to 4.0.4, and I forgot to backup SMS before doing it. I did a nandroid backup, but I can neither restore the backup nor locate the mmssms.db file in the archive. I tried AppExtractor and Titanium Backup, but with no success.
Can someone help me by telling me where to locate my SMS history in a nandroid backup? Thanks!
im now using AOKP rom build 40 my question is if i make a full back up with cwm recovery and install or flash another rom like miui 4 and make restore will it restore all apps and settings and account and screen widgets and every things !! cause it take along time to arrange screens and installing apps and making settings !!!
No. Android backup is a complete backup like your Norton ghost in windows.
When you restore, it will restore the complete rom.
Having said that, nandroid doesn't backup your /efs folder, which you should quickly do that if you first heard if this.
To backup apps + data , use titanium backup.
You can backup system apps and user apps.
But you should not restore system apps to dissimilar rom.

Android backup is the backup done via cwm recovery.
Efs
I mean go copy that folder to your PC now for safe keep.
It contains your IMEI .
