Any better ways to backup ??

Currently, I am using titanium backup to backup all my apps,
But I find it time-consuming to restore all my apps...
I would like to ask if nandroid backup in OR can also backup apps in the system
so that when I apply nandroid restore,
the rom together with the apps can be restored.....
Thanks

[Q] nandroid backup and titanium backup

I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.
1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?
2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?
3. Will nandroid backup, restore all my current states with all the apps + data?
Thanks guys. I'm a bit confuse.

1. If you are restoring from the same android build version then you can directly do restore from nandroid backup.. that will bring your phone in the state you took the backup in.
2. Nandroid backup takes a backup of everything except SD card data... all settings, call logs, messages etc etc.. if you didn't delete anything from SD card then restoring a nandroid backup will restore your phone to your earlier state.
3. Yes, it will.. though it doesn't affect SD card data, so if you delete or add something there it will be like that.

That`s mean i have to flash back to my own ROM and then do nandroid restore. After that, i can get all my previous apps + data? Am I right?

Just to be sure.
First - Do nandroid backup of current original ROM (with apps + data).
Second - Flash to other type of ROM (GB, ICS, JB) for testing.
Third - Change back to original ROM.
- 1st - Flash Back to ori ROM.
- 2nd - Do nandroid restore.
Fourth - Get back original ROM with apps and data like before (same thing as in First)

[Q][I9001] Where is the appdata being stored?

Hi guys
Im running CM9 beta 4 and i want to know where the app data of apps is stored.
So if i need to, i can restore them from a Nandroid backup cause my Titanium backups are not always as up to date as they can be but my nandroids are.
Thanks

It depends on the app, but most of app data is being stored in: sdcard/Android/data or (mostly games): sdcard/Android/obb.

Hmm...
I see the files but if I restore the apps from nandroid they are reset and don't use the data?
Phone: GT-I9001 Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Rom: CM9 RC 2 by arco86
Kernel: CastagnaIT 7.4 OC/UV
Did i help you? hitting the thanks button would be appreciated.

I'm not sure, if I fully understand what you mean by "Don't use the data"? I have no experience with nandroid backups, but my Titanium backups are restored without reseting any apps, it remebered of all my settings and updates. Make sure, you're doing a full backup.

App data are all stored in the /data partition
If you want to restore the data you can use nandroid Browser from play store but i think its better when you do an advanced restore in recovery and only restore the /data partition

HTC Sense launcher restore problems

Yesterday I made a full Nandroid Backup of my HTC One from the recovery.
The ROM just installed was not working, so I restored the backup.
All the apps were restored without problems except the HTC Sense launcher.
The apps grid in app drawer and homescreens were not restored.
So I've tried to restore only the data for the launcher with Nandroid Manager app, but nothing changed.
Titanium Backup is the only working but for this app I've only a old backup.
Where are stored the homescreens and app drawer data? Which folders does Titanium Backup restore?
Or there is another way to restore data from Nandroid Backup?
When I click on Restore from Nandroid Backup in Titanium it crashes.

don't know about the Nandroid Manager App
but the home screen icons can be restored via Titanium Backup (if backedup by Titanium) within the system apps "HTC Sense xxx (Desktop)"

Yes I know, but in Titanium Backup I've only a old backup. My problem is the recent backup is a Nandroid backup

TWRP backup location

Folks
I did a full backup of system, data, etc on TWRP (2.66gb total folder size) - can I assume that should I corrupt my phone somehow, I can restore from this and the phone will be in the exact state when I did the backup - all apps, logins, etc intact?
Also, I do weekly backups with titanium free edition - does titanium does the same thing or should I still do the above every few months?
Thanks

It's a complete "snapshot" of your phone as it was when you took it.
No titianium does not do the same thing. Titanium backs up individual apps and their respective data so you can restore individual apps or all apps at once. It's benefit is when switching roms where you have to wipe the phone and you can just restore your user apps without restoring any system data

I use the app ultimate backup to back up apps and data and I use the TWRP backups just as a safety measure before flashing a new ROM or update.......
I like to start a fresh you see with a new ROM, and then just install ultimate backup again, move over the back up data that I previously copied to my PC, and restore them, and this basically returns everything to how it was before due to the launcher, Nova, and its settings also being restored.
