I always have been a Samsung guy, so the nexus line is new to me.
Now I'm waiting for my verizon nexus 6 unit to arrive..
Question : with no memory card slot, what's the best way to bring my titanium backup apps on to the nexus for restore?
Is the only way by manually copying and pasting the files /folders?
Yes. Same as every other device
Yes that's what I did with my s3. The difference is when it goes to restore it'll be 2-5 times faster than it used to be with your old phone. This thing is a rocket.
In theory you could back up to Dropbox then start your phone download the Dropbox app download titanium backup then restore. Easier just to hook up a USB cable.
You can download titanium backup right from their website here: http://matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup_latest.apk

You can't nandroid like that. Depending on what you want to backup, contacts and what applications you installed can be backed up to your Google account, and stuff like application data you can use titanium backup.
Mybackup * Root
Try this if you have root access. Very easy to use. Will backup apps and data (sms/call log/music play lists, ect). Just need to swap SDcards to restore.

I have a Google Nexus One phone that I joyfully used for 1.5yr. I have a Whatsapp that is linked to a phone number that no longer in service, but I still happen to receive messages from that phone number, now and then.
Now I am moving to Galaxy Tab 7.7 (no forum in here yet), but how do I migrate the old Whatsapp no to the new device witout re-activating it? Is there any backup software that can migrate the whatsapp with all the functionalities/message history without reactivating the phonr? Please help, I'm reallt stucked. thanks a lot.
What is the best backup Android apps without rooting the phone?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA App
I am not too sure on the app itself as I don't use it, but using another app to back it up without root, most likely, isn't possible. Android locks each app to itself to limit security risks.
Whatsapp backs up it's messages every night to your sd card (assuming that option is selected in whatsapp settings) as well as on internal memory. If you download whatsapp to another phone, but use the same sd card in that phone, on launch, it'll ask if you want to restore the messages.
If you have root -use titanium backup and restore on the new phone.

Titanium Backup requires root access...
do settings>more>chat history backup. Then look for the whatsapp folder on the sd and move that to the new device and that might work maybe. whatsapp might need the original number to also be verified on the new device which might prevent you from using that backup. You really need root to solve a root problem though.
question, if i get a new number in a new country, will i still be able to get my old life long account back?
Backup chats on sd card -> move to new phone -> install whatsapp -> restore from backup. Or use a 3rd party android whatsapp transfer utility to help.

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

Currently on a stock 2.3 rooted Incredible and waiting on the Verizon Htc One. My only concern (besides rooting) is transferring old save game data from the Inc to the One.
Will this be as easy as putting my Titanium Backup folder on internal storage of the One and just hitting restore to get my data to transfer or will I have to jump through hoops?

Yep, but depending on the game it may store data differently for 4.0+ versus 2.3 (I doubt it tho )
Your game might also save saved data to the SD rather than to /data. So titanium backup might not even be needed (but I can't be sure if that is the case)

Hey Guys - I have a rooted nexus 6 (through Wugfresh) and a paid version of Titanium Backup. My headphone jack broke so Motorola is sending me a replacement phone. What is the best / easiest way to backup this phone and restore it on the new one? I bought the paid version of Titanium Backup in hope to do a cloud backup, but every time I get to about 2% backed up to Box is stops and gives me a server issue I appreciate your help!
Take a titanium backup locally and also a recovery backup (nandroid) then copy your entire SD card to your computer. When you get the new device, unlock it, decrypt it if thats what you want, copy it to sdcard. The Nandroid restore would be more complete and quicker than titanium, but keep that for a safety net.
Thanks! How do I move my Titanium Backup to my computer?
Copy your entire sdcard contents to your computer. This will include the backups.
