I have done my first B/U to the internal sd card and Dropbox, can't be to careful. My question is, when I open the Backup/Restore page none of my apps or my backups are listed. I was also reading roebeets "market fix" using Titanium Backup to access you apps and to force close them and to delete cache but, if I can not see any apps how do I do this?

Does anyone know of a good backup program to save my apps and data utilizing CM 6 if I have moved some of my apps to the SD card? It's my understanding that Titanium can't back the SD card saved apps yet.

I saw a reference today to an app called "appsaver" that backups all your installed apps to the SD card as *.apk files. Once you flash a new ROM and reload appsaver, it has a restore option that will reload the apps from the SD card.
I download it this evening and have done a backup and it created all of the *.apk files on the SD card. I haven't tried restoring them yet.

Does it backup the data too?

In looking at the description it doesn't mention the apps data and some of the user comments mentioned that it doesn't either.

A nandroid back up from clockwork recovery can create an image of your phones current state. Also you could try using the backup option in the CM6 settings which will "back up" your apps and restore them if you factory reset, I dont think that does data.
All my apps that were on the SD card had their links broken even though the SD card was still fine.
So I wiped my install and started resetting things. One of my first steps was to reinstall Titanium Backup but my app list doesn't rebuild. If I install an app from the market, TB then connects that app to the backup history. I can restore data or old backups thereafter.
Anyone know how I can get TB to build my app list without having to manually install from the market?
Yes, I own the pro version.

I've been using Titanium Backup pro for 3 months and haven't met such problem... do a disk error check for your SD card Fat32 partition in windows, see if it finds any problem.
Did you backup those apps using another version of Titanium Backup? I wonder if there was compatibility problem across older and newer Titanium Backup versions.
So I updated to a new rom (serendipity 7) and backed up all my apps with Titanium Backup.. I'm curious if the data it backs up is like save data for games and such? Cause when I restored everything I didn't have any of my saves.. Which kinda pisses me off cause I got fairly far in Plants vs Zombies.. =(
Yes tibia will back them up and restore them. At least have for me. Just open tubular and scroll until you see your game/s and click on it. Then pick the backup you want. Now IF you only have one backup then go into preferences and choose Max backups and set it to 2,3, or whatever you want. Then go back and refresh the apps list and hopefully your correct saved data will be there. Now click on the game and when it pops up say restore data or app+data.
I have my Max backup at 4 and has saved me on occasions when an app update doesn't seem to function correctly so I pick an older version of the app. Also make sure you have where it is saved in the same location it was saved previously, in other words if you originally had it saving it to the external SD card then you may have to change it back to save/restore from the external (or vise versa). I mention this because some roms that come with Toby already automatically have it set to save on the sdcard and I didn't have all my apps or data until I resaved the backup to my external SD card. Just throwing things out there for you to try.

Yep that worked, I ran the batch that restored app+data however it didn't restore my data.. Looks like I'll have to go through and restore data.. Thanks
again guys I dont know why TB isn't reading my backups? I have them on my sd card all of them but TB does not give me an option to restore the app data! what's wrong? Help please Thank youuu
You need to describe your problem better.
What ROM you use? What ROM backups are from? Have you set your default backup folder? Do you see your backups? What exactly you can't restore? etc...
How restore apps from current ROM to another ROM? Is there is possibility can backup specific apps and restore on another ROM.
Tq
Try titanium backup..
need reboot phone after run backup?

Attention!!!
If you use Titanium Backup dont do a mass restore (all file at once) while it dont will put it onto SD card! the apps and the phone memory will be full and some error etc.
restor oance a time the apps. and move it manualy to SD card.

No its no necessary..it'l b a lengthy process so do some apps at once like 20.. no error ever occured to me..
in titanium backup setting there is a option which let you choose if you want to install apps in sdcard, phone memory or android way
choose android way then TB will install some apps in phone memory and some apps in sdcard so need to restore app individually
also TB is better than nandroid backup and never ever restore system data with TB
use titanium backup (i recommend pro version)to backup all user apps...then u flash new rom.....then u run restore missing apps with data...not anything else...
I tried yesterday to restore 30 apps from batch and fail.
Apps was backuped form stock rom.
TB dosent remember to restore the apps here it was? exemple cut the rope is sd up but puts it on phone?
I'am refering that what should be on sd to restor to sd what no no.
I use Titanium Backup Pro. Restore and run batch until notify Batch verification finished 0 error found. But not found restore files anywhere. Does I missing some step?
I always restore around 80apps at once and never had any problem..

Yes its possible.
Simply install titanium backup or Mybackup application from the market. The pro versions are better at a small fee
Then from the current ROM back up all the apps you want. this back up is stored in the SD card and so wount be affected by Flashing a custom ROM.
Now flash the desired ROM and again install either of the applications you used to backup the apps from the market. i.e if you used titanium backup to back up your apps, then install titanium back up from the market.
then select restore option to restore your applications!
Hope this helps.
yeah, try Titanium Backup.
Tqvm for suggestion. Then, what is different compare to CWM backup? Which better?

I tried restoring when I went from Blazer ROM to CM10 but it just gave me errors and force closes. Is there a specific way in TB to restore in a different ROM or do you basically have to start off with a clean slate?
After many months of using this phone I've slowly started to fill my my internal storage/internal SD/External SD. And even after flashing new roms the space is still taken up with 0 programs installed. Well I know that it's all still there, but how can I get rid of all the data that the apps have made over time? I believe with enough titanium restores I may have duplicate data on the internal and external SD, but obviously my phone is only reading from one of them.
Also, if I remove everything (excluding the backups from titanium), and then restore them with titanium backup, will they restore just fine, or does titanium rely on that data to still be there?
Just do Factory Reset and Format your phone's memory from the Storage settings... Your phone will empty up
You can titanium backup what you want then plug the phone in the PC on USB mode and copy the titanium backup folders (2 total files 1 zip and 1 folder) somewhere u can remember onto the computer then proceed with the factory reset and format the memory. After you finish the format then move the titanium backup back on the phone memory

Thanks for the replies.
I ended up starting from a newly flashed rom, then deleted all the contents of my .androidsecure folder. Then used titanium backup to restore the apps I wanted.
