hello, i have a couple questions about titanium back up. i have pro version and the latest titanium backup. I backed up ll my apps and then connected my phone and copied the folder of TB and pasted into my computer (backup of backups) i restarted my phone into recovery. TWRP to be exact. and i wiped cache and formatted data/factory reset. when i went into the Google store downloaded the TB app. it asked me if i wanted to restore previous id or keep new one. so i restored key. ( am i supposed to restore or keep new one? ) restarted phone and went back into the app went to restore and there are no backups. but i had a backup on my PC. so it was not a problem i just wanted to know why it did that?

Hi all, firstly Im sorry for this stupid question but I cant figure it out, I want to do a factory reset, I have installed titanium backup but cannot understand what to do. If I make a backup, then factory reset wont i lose all my backups and titanium backup itself? so my question is how to do a backup of all my apps and stuff, then how to reinstall them, really hope you can explain this to me as i seem to have loads of things on my internal sd card and want to clean up but dont know how thanks
TitaniumBackup usually backups your stuff to sdcard, which should not get wiped by a factory reset. To be 100% safe you can copy the backup folder to your computer.
After the reset you will have to download titaniumbackup from market again and then you can restore what you want to restore.
EDIT: read your post again ;-).
Your /sdcard/ will not get cleaned by a factory reset.
To get everything SUPER clean, you would have to copy the backupped stuff to your computer, flash a WIPE ROM (or install stock rom and repartition).
Then you have to copy the backup from your computer to your phone install titanium again and restore your things.
If you dont use the same rom titanium could have problems restoring somethings.

Hi,
I backup my phone via CWM and Titanium, then I wipe my phone, installed the same ROM, tried to restore my LG Memo & Email, both does not restore my previous backup data. Here's what i've tried:
-wipe phone, install rom, restore both apps (+data) via titanium but no data was restored (or maybe it did, but my email settings and memos still absent). Tried restarting, still no joy. Tried restoring mobile access points & sms, all doesn't work. But most apps do get restored with data only a few doesn't.
-wipe phone, restore original cwm backup, everything is present with data. (I made another backup of titanium during this restore just to double confirm)
- wipe phone, install rom, install Appextractor app, selected my cwm backup, restore lg memo & email (+data), still no joy. I even tried restoring my sms backup, still no sms was restored.
- tried backup sms & setting using LG bundled backup app, restore works. But it doesn't backup apps data, just the apps (like fresh install).
-Lastly, I tried restore my previous cwm backup, reboot, go to titanium, restore my very old titanium backup files (I do keep it on separate folder), it has memo & email app but less data because it's old backup, obviously. Restore it, Works!
It seems that the problem arise when I do a wipe and fresh install rom which is exactly the same rom as previous (stock 20q from flix123) tried to restore some apps and settings but it does not get restored with data.
Please help. I need the memo I saved and emails (sent folder emails are saved locally) to restore properly.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I just flashed a new rom -Stocklite 7.1
This is my first attempt at flashing a ROM so bare with me.
I created a Nandroid backup prior to flashing and I also copied the entire contents of the SD card over to my computer.
I am using Link2SD and an ext partion as well.
Flashed succesfully. However none of my previous apps / data show up, this was slightly unexpected. I attempted to peform a nandroid data only backup to get these by going to recovery mode then advanced data only restore.
But i got an md5 mismatch.
Basically.
I am trying to restore my apps / data and I want to keep the stocklite 7.1 ROM. NOT a full restore.
Any help?
I recommend using titanium backup for backing up your apps. But, you can probably get user apps by coppying/flashing them to where they belong.
Options:
1 go back to stock rom by restoring your stock backup, make a backup using titanium backup, flash stock lite, install titanium backup, restore your apps. To succesfully restore your stock nandroid backup use te ext4 manager app, convert system to rfs, go to recovery, restore.
2 - open your stock backup on your computer with unpacking or iso software (like 7 zip), extract your user apps (apk files), create a flashable zip to flash them to data/app, system/app as needed. You can also flash their libs and data files to data/data and dalvik-cache to data/dalvik-cache. That should restore user apps and their data to internal memory if you don't want to use titanium backup.
You lost all your data..you should have a taken app backups with Titanium Backup,Nandroid isn't enough.
MD5 mismatch is showing up because you changed the name of the backup folder ..
You can open the backup manually, and get all the data.It might or not work,that would depend oon your luck
Thanks for the posts guys!
I just wasn't thinking. I had already taken a titanium backup full backup so thats' all good!
Hi guys!
Yesterday I unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM and SuperSU. Today I installed the Titanum backup and started backuping. Now I wonder how to restore the backups if the app was deleted once? Let's say I want to install a custom ROM and it wipes all my data. How can I restore the backups I did today?

Reinstall TiBU from the Play Store after you installed the custom ROM. In TiBU, locate the backups you've made (preferably in a safe location on your external SD) and restore the apps/settings you want. Be careful though, because not all settings/apps will work on a different ROM.
Please visit the TiBU website for further info:

With TB Pro you can generate a CWM flashable TB install ZIP
What I do :
- TB backups are on a SDCard
- TB backups are copied on an external HDD from time to time and always before Rom upgrade
- TB flashable ZIP is generated at every TB update and ZIP copied to external HDD
Doing this allows me to update Rom without stress. I always also do a Nandroid backup just in case
One may say I'm paranoid but doing this way I never lost any data or software and always restored from a crashed Rom update
BTW : always remember TB needs root so this is a prerequisite !

/storage/sdcard0 (Internal)
/starage/sdcard1 (SD Card)
By default TB puts backups in /sdcar0/TitaniumBackup. If you uninstall TB your backups will remain making it a great tool when wiping/switching ROMs. Once TB is re-installed it will read your backups from that folder and you will be able to perform restore functions within the app.
If you do a factory wipe (aka full wipe) in TWRP (not sure about CWM) neither /sdcard0 or /sdcard1 will be touched.
As @Howell has pointed out there are many ways to backup your backups, and restore backups. TB has many options and ways to backup/restore your data. Similar to Howell, every couple weeks I will copy both /sdcards to my computer for safe keeping. If you buy the pro version (recommended) then you can schedule backups, and have more than one backup of an app - I have found multiple backups useful if an update to an Xposed module breaks certain functions since they aren't always device specific.
Typically I do not backup any system apps or data because as @Don MC pointed out these don't always restore properly when switching ROMs (even if it's an update to the same ROM). SMS/MMS data is an exception I guess. I have a few system apps such as my lockscreen.apk and SystemUI.apk backed up, but only because they conflicted with some Xposed modules.
Hey Guys ,,
is there any way to move a backup data to the ROM
i have ATT note 3,, i did backup using safe strap and after x note ROM instillation i tried to do restore data but it failed,,,any solution
I believe the Safestrap backups are similar to just TWRP or Nandroid backups.
They'll save the entire partition as is, to restore back to that state at a later date.
They aren't good for, say, moving all your apps and appdata to a new Rom.
For that, you should use Titanium Backup or a similar backup manager like Helium.
Then back up just the apps and appdata (not system apps, since they'll often conflict with the new rom) to your SDCard, and restore them when on the new app.
Sorry, it doesn't help when you've already done the TWRP backup and flashed a new rom.
