The Easy Backup Tool is for OS.
To reinstall music and pics just sync the device with Zune.
To restore apps and data take a look at this thread -

Backup without root

Hi,
do you guys know any good app to do a backup of my non rooted non unlocked Razr I? I'd like to root and unlock it, but I don't want to lose all my data.
Carbon does not work. What did you use?

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
There are some solutions for backup to the PC too.
Thanks!
But it looks like it does only do a backup of the apk files. Is there any app which includes the app's data to a backup? I do not want to play all my games again :/

Ok. As far as I know you have solutions for backup/restore without rooting only for PC. But that shouldn't be a serious problem. The only important thing is to have ability to restore your apps and data. Look at this: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/backup-android-devices-to-pc-without-root-or-bootloader-unlock/

flashing to 4.2.2 & samsung apps

1) Is there any way to add them to a rom based at cm and android 4.2.2?
2) As we know from sammobile, note will take the 4.2.2. From the roms we have now, if they release the 4.2.2 for note, could we just take the samsung apps with upgrade of the rom?
3) Now i am at tw based rom and i want to try some 4.2.2 cm based roms. From titanium backup, if i take backup from all the apps, including system, it will install the system apps when i will restore them? i know that we shouldn't keep system apps backup.
4) How can i save my contacts to google account?
5) Where does the titanium backup save the backup files?

agree with baz77, i suggest u not to do restore apps or app data, because different ROM has different structure, so if u restore apps or apps data in the different structure ROM from ur previous ROM, it'll mesh everything.

When you flash it with Flashtool, unselect wipe DATA, anyway you can backup your phone with your google profile, that will auto redownload all your apps.

Thanks for that.
I thought Google only backs up app data, but not the apps themselves? And the order of apps on my launcher would also get lost. I have yet to find a backup solution that really backs up everything, just like iTunes does....

I'm not sure that anything can do that, have you tried Titanium backup?

Wrong, also using Titanium means you have rooted your phone.

Restoring contacts from Backup & Restore

Hey all,
I backed up using the Backup & Restore in 4.1.2 when updating to 4.2.2. Now that I am in this version, I can't restore anything as the OS vers are mis matched. I was wondering if I could some how just restore my contacts... I looked @ the back up folder in a browser and was wondering if I could somehow just decipher one of those files and restore it... Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure whether it will work, but you can try to install the old backup/restore app and try to restore. You may have to be rooted to push the backup/restore app to the /system partition.

[Q] Backing up Rom with Safestrap when running KitKat

Anyone know if it's possible to do a backup with safestrap and flash a different KitKat rom? I'm currently on a KitKat rom, but what if I wanted to flash a different KitKat rom and not want to lose my stuff? When I mean lose my stuff, I'm talking about losing my rom setup...not text, logs etc. Basically I'm asking how to backup with safestrap like we did on jellybean since safestrap hasn't been updated to work with KitKat.
If it's possible, could someone share the how to steps?
Thanks in advance.

You can back up texts, call logs, etc. With super backup from playstore. Then make sure pictures are on external sd card. Backup apps with titanium backup.
Then follow guides on installing other rom. Once your up and running reinstall titanium backup, restore apps that you want. Restore logs and texts etc with super backup.
Safe strap backs up the whole rom. So that will do you no good for installing texts and such back.

You can't do a NANDROID backup at this time. You can use Titanium Backup to backup everything on your phone (app+data, text, call log, etc) If you restore it to a different ROM make sure not to restore system apps because that can cause some conflicts.

Yes and no... You can't do a full nandroid. But you can use SS to backup all the essentials to get your ROM Back up if you restore it.
