As the title suggests, every time I make a backup using Titanium Backup it seems to freeze on around 20%.
I know I have plenty of space on my SD card, but it just hangs and I have to Force Stop the process.
Anyone else having / had this problem??
Depending on ROM and storage permissions or busybox or even which root app your using could cause problems. There are several options to try. Sometimes however I find some apps hang the process. It's the app not Titanium. All you have to do it exit and manually FC and or remove from regents. I have to do this when backing up some of the Google apps for example.

I'm fairly new at this rooting thing, I initially rooted stock, and then went on to a custom rom someone on the board made. However, I'd like to play with other ones, but I don't want to have to reinstall my apps every time. Is there a recommended way to backup, and what exactly should I be backing up?
I've installed Titanium Backup and backed up most of my apps that way, is that the preferred method and all I really need to do?
Thanks!!

I had a bad experience with using the "Backup" and "Restore" options in Recovery completely destroying my Nook's boot partition, so I'd personally stick with Titanium Backup. I paid for it, and it was well worth it. This let's me install any ROM and with literally a single tap, all my apps are reinstalled.
Titanium Backup is just amazing. It's probably one of (if not THE) the most useful apps ever for anyone who frequents XDA. And free, if you don't mind tapping for each app. Just don't restore system files etc (ie the "red" colored apps).
Depending on which recovery you are using, you may have to use the accompanying kernel...

Q I installed Titanium Backup and it is driving me nuts, it creates the folder on my SD card, says it's complete, but the folder is empty. I tried just the apps, apps and system, but still the folder is empty. The notification note says complete with the time, but still an empty folder even after I deleted it before a new backup.
Auto-nooter 3
Uninstalled TB, and reinstalled it, works fine now. Must have been a flakey install.
I find appbrain the easiest solution to reinstall my apps. Then if necessary, use titanium to restore data.

Personally I run all my ROMs from a MicroSD card. This way I don't have to worry about screwing up my Nook and I can pop the Card into my PC and use "dd" to make Images and Flash them back. It makes switching ROMs quick and easy and if I decide I like the New ROM I can use Titanium Backup to mass Restore(Pro key needed) all my Apps. If I don't like the ROM or if something bad happens I can just "dd" a Backed Up Image to get my my Old Install back and it's like I never switched ROMs. Aaahhh.... Life is good.
PS: I keep Two cards, One for my Everyday ROM, and the Other for Testing.

Hi,
I after a few hours of failure I flashed my first ROM, Firefly 3, yesterday. I did a nand backup beforehand, but I didn't use it to restore because I wasn't sure how it worked, so I used Titanium to restore my apps. Now my built in memory (not internal sd) for apps is full whereas before flashing I had about a third left. How much space does a nand backup take up and can I delete it?
Edit: I looked in settings and it says I have about a gigabyte free, yet when I try installing an app from Amazon it says it can't be installed and to try clearing space. Any ideas?

The nandroid backups basically take a snapshot of the current state of your phone. When you restore a nandroid backup it restores the phone to the state that it was in before, so in your case it would be like you didn't flash firefly. These backups don't take up too much space and they shouldn't be hindering you from installing apps. I am not sure why you are having this problem, did you restore the system data when you used Titanium Backup or just the apps+data?
Thank you for the explanation.
I only did apps and data. Some install some dont its very strange. Also I shouldn't have had to install them, not sure why they weren't backed up and restored with Titanium backup.
I am also having other problems. When I boot swype force close. Some apparently force close when I open them and lots of them including some that force closed are now gone from my drawer. I think fixing permissions may have been the cause, I'm not sure it said it should fix force closes.

Ok,
Thought I would start this thread. I have a few typical suspects that force close straight after boot and I suspect that it is a storage space error with CM. I am running CacheMate but this is only good for after the system has settled in and by this stage the apps that I am about to list have all settled down again.
- Titanium backup
- Android Market
- Ice Cream Sandwich Clock (its my favorite)
- Genie News Weather widget (used a lot)
- Messaging (only sometimes)
- Android Media Process....still, even after the so called "fixes for ICS.
I am begining to learn to live with it just for the shear benefits of ICS over Gingerbread.
I will be attempting a full pull of my SD card, wipe/format and repartition and installation of apps to SD with links2SD which seems to be much better than apps2SD that requires reinstallation of the app and then re -moving of the app to SD before the links in system will work again. Everytime I flash a new update to ROM any apps on SD that were moved no longer work...they ARE still there because when I go to re-install them after clicking on the app icon (a link basically) it pops up a notification "App not installed"...however when I go to "re-install the app it says asks if I would like to replace the application ? Grrr quite ****ty when you've done a full restore, can't get apps working and your re-installing old apks that you knew you had the latest installed from Market prior to flashing the ROM.
I have been doing a Nandroid backup of my whole system when ALL apps are restored but before moving the apps to SD. That way I can just restore data and then move to SD and I don't have to bugger around with re-installing a million and one apps THEN move to SD taking twice the time and usually killing my battery in the process.
The only issue with that is then the problem of user data being a snapshot, so if the last time I did a nandroid was 10 days ago and I want all the SMS (MMS is the key part here) then the snapshot (regardless of apps) is not good enough? Apps like SMS backup and restore don't offer restoring of MMS so thats crap too.
Anyways...what are other users experiencing and what are your ideas for possible fixes? I have shared mine
PS: Am about to try MyBackup Root
I know it has been talked about and I don't want to sound like a noob who doesn't read but I need help. I understand restoring apps from Titanium Backup causes problems but how are people transferring their apps from GB over to ICS without having to download each and every one of them from Play Store. Even if you went through the trouble of getting your apps from the Play Store is there a way to transfer your data from your games and other apps so you don't have to start over?
You can use TiBu to back up all your apps and data. Once you upgrade to ICS restore the apps without data and reboot the phone. ICS should upgrade the apps by itself. You can then restore the data to each app individually. If you get fc's you will just need to clear the data for that app. That works well for me.

That's strange no matter what I do, even following your directions, the apps do not restore. TB says the app restoration is completed and I restarted just like you said and still nothing..... This may be the only thing that keeps me from ICS.
Could be your particular ROM or older TiBu.
I could never restore my WiFi settings though.
Get latest TiBu, get 5-star ICS ROM, wipe data, clear cache - try again.
GoF2 installed on my sd card and I wanted to move it to internal memory. Durimg that operation, settings force closed and it happens every time when I want to do anything connected to moving to the sd or internal memory. The same thing on Titanium Backup - it force closes while doing a backup. I tried to download the game again, wiping the phone but nothing helps... is anyone able to help me?
Tapped from The Bond Phone!
Same here...anything that apps lists related will FC with this game installed... could be something in the game that blocking access to those apps...
And uninstalling this GOF2 is the only fix... no more FC...
Shame,its a great game though....
Uninstalled...

Stock Backup & Restore app works well when I try to make backup of GoF. But nothing else, damn...
