Since flashing new ROMs is the flavor of the season, restoring apps and other stuff on the fone is most required.
Which of these two apps do you prefer?
I am talking about the paid versions here cos the free versions on both TB & MBP are a little buggy.
Here are the pros & cons of either:
Titanium Backup Pro-
PROs
A legend in terms of apps as a whole, has probably been the longest standing and most successful app
various additional features like market links, freezing programs, pulling data from nandroid backups, removing bloatware, etc
CONs
Can get difficult to use for a first timer
not a very easy to use interface
MyBackUp Pro
PROs
Very easy to use interface
Backups both apps & data along with your sms, contacts, settings & even your home page layout
CONs
Does not work accurately 100% of the times
Lots of folks have reported loss of data or unsuccessful restores
do post your thoughts here & any other positives or negatives you know.
it would be good to share your experiences on either & why you prefer one over another.
also feel free to post if you know of any other app which can compete against these 2

I use go backup. Never had any issues. It backs up everything and restores it perfectly.

Titanium Backup Pro all the way. If you sit down and just have a fumble through all its menus it's a pretty simple little program.
If you have any troubles, there are tonnes! Of video tutorials that describe this program, and what it can do.
I use my backup root. Not sure what the difference is but it restores apps and data, got a separate freeze app, it's not laggy and best of all it's free. Check it out... Need to be rooted though

GoBackup is the easiest way to do this. Awesome interface and tools. Does app + data etc. It's free

i use titanium backup
i dont care about the look or interface as long as it is doing the job
i assumed that majority of the folks would be using Titanium backup and the rest mostly would be with my backup..
i haven't even seen go backup, goto check it out

Have you had any issues with mybackup at all?
i have a paid version on xperia play, but i face problems like 1 out of 10 times..
like the backup does not complete correctly, have to restart the restore or search and install the apps that weren't restored

There you go.. thanks number 200
GO Backup - easy, so easy to use - backs up sms, mms, contacts, call logs, homescreen layouts, wifi aps, user app+data. Best of all it's free and ad-free. The paid version adds cloud backup function.
When restore apps using Titanium, is there a way to install apps at once install of being asked for permission to install each individual app?
Only if you are using the pro version of Titanium backup. If you are, click on the top right corner icon and select restore all apps with data. Select /De-select the ones you want. This is also known as a batch restore.
My favourite is
Titanium Backup. Lots of features that other backup managers do not have.

Yeah agreed Titanium backup. Must be pro version though, as free version is too limited. Just had a look at Go Backup and are also impressed as its free and can backup home layout. I don't believe TB can do this.

Have tried all Go Backup and TBP and MBP(tough the title's just TBP VS MBP.
If the case is TBP vs MBP, it's sure victory on TBP.
Never find any single bug for as long as I remember, and yes I've been using it 3 years.
I happen to restore whatssapp before, using MBP, but it won't open, so I have to redownload the app, & yes that's the last time I use MBP.
Go Backup's pretty cool but it can't back up all of your apps into one flashable zip pack
This is the coolest feature that none of the others have.
FYI TBP also have cloud storage feature

I am a n00b, just wanted to know how I can keep the apps that I have if I want to change from CM 6 to Sapphire 1. When I rooted my phone and put on CM I lost all my apps including the Shazam that allowed unlimited songs. When I reinstalled from the market now I'm only limited to 5/month, which isn't a big deal but I would like to just keep all 'my' data like #'s and photos.
Thx
Titanium backup.free version will do.backup everything before you flash.after you flash, redownload it & restore your apps.awesome app

So, there isn't a feature in the SYNC software that does a device backup of the apps/contact lists/settings?
Google will sync your contacts back when you sign in. I've seen some apps come back but never any paid ones. Titanium will restore app & data back. Manually with the free , automatic with donate version. It also lets you freeze apps which hides them rather than removing them.

of all the apps that i use on my android phones the most (CoPilot aside) is Titanium Backup Full/Pro/Donate whatever you want to call it.
Just make sure you unlock it to get the DropBox feature.
in the Nexus S with the lack of the extra external storage, it's almost a must have to be able to back/restore all your apps & settings online, and on the go, so that if crap happens, you can easily just restore them all back.
it also facilitates a lot when we are constantly trying out new ROMs
with the 1 click restore feature
How do you do it mate? I backed up to phone then synced with dropbox? Is that it? Would be awesome if someone made a drop box music player lol

I highly recommend Titanium Backup. The donate version is a must for anyone who flashes ROMs.

Just google it: "Nandroid vs MyBackup Pro vs Titanium Backup." You'll gain all the information you need. It's been talked a lot.
Nandroid = Every nook and cranny.
Titanium Backup = Basically everything app related and system settings. Doesn't touch the OS itself. Pro version has that auto install feature when you restore apps.
MyBackup Pro = Dunno if it changed much, but it backs up everything app related. No system settings. Also backs up app data if you have root. Restore app one by one.
I might have forgotten something because the last time I used MyBackup was about year or two ago.

Actually, MyBackup Pro does back up system settings. Also backs up SMS and MMS and photos. Also batch restores the apps.
What I did not have a good experience is backing up contacts as it conflicts with google's contact sync and I ended up with double contacts..this was almost a year ago though..
Another recommendation here though only for the pro version. The regular version is just a pain to back up and restore all your apps.

it's true about the pain to restore
but the FREE version you still have the 1 button backup everything option
I found this yesterday and I have to share it.... This is a GREAT App for backup and restore of Apps. AppMonster Pro.
It does backup/restore/batches/etc... but a great feature it has is, when you install a App it immediately backs it up upon install in the background. It has a great UI, it is fast, and VERY no obtrusive.
No regrets with this one.
Search in market "AppMonster Pro"
Enjoy!!
Do it also restore widget? Titanium don't do it.
Nothing can restore widgets. That's why Titanium doesn't do it.
So does this app do all the other things that Titanium does as well?
Backup system data
Backup to Dropbox
Freeze/unfreeze apps
Move all apps to the SD card/Internal memory
Integrate updates of system apps into the ROM
Market doctor (cleans up Market links)
Clean the Davlik Cache
Create an update ZIP from a backup
That's the ones I could see, but I'm pretty sure there's more that I've missed.
Titanium is not just a mere app backup program
(As you may have guessed, I'm a big Titanium fan!)
Titanium can manage system apps too
Sorry for OT; but why cant Titanium and other apps backup widgets? :-\
I can 2nd this....I've been using Appmonster Pro for ages....it is absolutely AWESOME.
Really hard to use tho, as it takes a lot of steps...I will list my technical backup routine.......
1:Tap 'Appmonster' shortcut.
2: Click tap 'backup'
3......done...everything.
lol - AWESOME app.....eats titanium for breakfast, IMHO.

Hmm, i musta read wrong...i thought he said 'App Backup' ?
LOL... Yes, I am referring to App Backup. I see no need to backup System Apps since when you flash a new ROM they have System Apps. Build to build things change I using old "system" data can only create problems. I am not so lazy to spend 10 mins or so to set my settings after a new flash.
Other than the Ability to freeze a app TB has nothing useful (IMO). I use Autostarts to disable anything from running for no reason, and if I need to freeze it... I will just delete it from the ROM all together. If I don't need it what the hell is the point of keeping it around? Root Explorer and System/App/Delete is a good friend of mine.
I like App monster because it is simple and I don't have to remember to backup all the time. When I download something it backs it up. Also, If you have limit room on your SD card it will backup the Market download links instead of the .APK's.
Great App for what is "NEEDED".
So what you're now saying is that Titanium is a completely different application, so saying...

LOL, it is not irrelevant. I am referring and comparing to "App Backup" as I stated... My point was posting a great Backup App and my reference to "Forget Titanium" was just that. The other features included are pointless, all can be a achieved VIA Apps "MOST" XDA'ers already have in their device.
So, if people are looking for a Great App Backup option with silent backup... "Forget About Titanium".

Titanium Backup can restore nearly your whole phone including system settings, sms, contacts, browser shortcuts and call history.
Hi,
i used HTC Backup and made 3 Backups at different times. Now i can only restore the 2nd one because i only get this to choose from.
But in the dropbox folder are all 3 Backups. Is this a bug? Can i force him to use the last backup? HTC phone support was totally useless cause the "specialist" didn't really know what "HTC Backup" really is...
Thx
Daniel
Maybe try moving the other 2 into a different folder to separate them?
Really you shouldn't waste time with HTC's backup anyway. Just run an ADB backup on a PC and use SMS backup for your texts (if you care about that).

Hi,
i tried to separate them but it also didn't work. I usually do a backup with titanium but i really liked that every setting an the tv app was backuped with htc backup. But as it is, it's just crap.

You can backup the TV app and setting with Titanium mate
I know but i recently just backed up "All User Apps" and the TV app is not included because it's a system app.
Now i know better

I do enjoy flashing new ROMs and tinkering with various settings, themes, etc. I always struggle with getting all my apps set backup.
I use Titanium Backup pro, but I still always have to reset personalizations, ring tones, default apps, app logins, etc. Is there a better way to make those kind of thing persistent across a backup/restore?

There is an app called "Rom settins backup" or something like that, though be warned. it's these personalisations which make us have to Wipe anyway, so if you were to restore them all, you may as well not wiped. Restore may cause bootloop, so it is just better to set them up each time and get used to it.

I found out that rro/layers can be restored in system/vendor/overlay and will be active after reboot. So I have a backup copy of that directory.
