I recently flashed a new rom and I was about to restore my apps and data via titanium backup, apparently what I actually did was backup the apps instead of restoring them. My tb app's max backup history is currently set to 1. My question is, is there a way to restore overwritten titanium backup files? I have to restore them especially my messages
Since it is configured to max backup of 1 file, I'm not even sure if it was really overwritten or deleted
Have you made a nandroid backup before flashing the rom?
unfortunately no.

By any chance u hv selected the "Ext SD card" as backup location wen u did the old backup? In the new one it wl be internal SD by default (until & unless u change it manually)..in this case, u wl hv 2 backups..if u r lucky, u will have 2 backups & u can actually restore frm the old backup..hope, I m not confusing u
i get what u mean. but unfortunately my storage when i did the backup was my phone storage

I want to consider going to another ROM but my current one is running pretty sweet. Currently I am on Perception 4. If I do a backup through the recovery menu, can I copy that off to my external SD put whatever on I want and if I dont like it just slap the external in, copy the backup file to my internal sd and be back where I started? Any gotchas???
Sorry but the best you can do is run titanium backup backup all ur apps because when u flash another rom it clears ur data so u have to reinstall all ur apps. Via titanium backup I think I know what ur saying u can flash a new rom and if don't like it u can flash the backup file and BAM u have perception back just as it was before u flashed but it doesn't work like that u have to set up ur icons and everything on ur homescreen and reinstall ur apps via titanium backup here's some help tho in titanium backup to help restore ur apps quicker at the main screen of ti. Press the menu button then hit batch then hit hit restore all missing apps with data it makes it go by much quickr

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?
what is the difference between cw backup and titanium backup?
which is better, more safe (for brick issue) , faster ...
what is meant by nandroid backup?
Difference between Nandroid and Titanium backup
I am glad I found this, I have been looking for a thread I could submit a useful post in so that I would be able to see the thank button.
Nandroid backup is the type of backup that CWM does.
i.e. when your phone is rooted you can go into the recovery and one of the options is nandroid backup.
A nandroid backup copies every single byte of data stored in the phone onto your SD card (or wherever) and is an absolute backup of one particular state of your phone.
It is a very powerful tool, you do a nandroid backup before flashing anything and if it all goes wrong the nandroid backup will restore everything back to the way it was before you messed it all up.
(with the Note you need to be careful because the nandroid backup does a wipe and write on restore and that will trigger the hard brick issues with the leaked ICS ROMs that you will no doubt have read about in the stickies.
Titanium backup is a tool that is run from inside the OS and can back up the installation files and app data of all your apps, it will allow you to remove and replace individual apps or batch replace the whole lot.
It can also force the OS not to update certain apps if you want them to run at an older version.
It can sync its backup files to Dropbox or Google drive too.
I guess in a nutshell the differences are these:
Nandroid will only back up a snapshot of the whole phone but does not need a working OS to do it.
Titanium will only work if you can get the phone to boot into android but it can do more specific backups and roll backs.
Let me know if that has answered your question buddy.

Thats incorrect as per my post regarding backup cwm does not take a snapshot of whole phone. One more thing you need to backup seperately is efs. See my thread on that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606012

Simple question;
What do you use as backup and restore solution ?
I want my backup software to make an image when I'm doing a backup and only recover from the image when it's restoring (so overwrite any other data that's on my phone before the restoration)
For my apps and their data I use titanium backup.
For contacts,sms, call logs, bookmarks, calendar I use Super Backup.
I use root explorer to move my pictures and music to SD card.
After that . I flash a new ROM. Works every time.
Edit:Never seen anything that actually makes an image backup expect TWRP recover
Sadly. I think you will have to use what I offered.
