So i ahve been using titanium backup for some time now as the years have gone by this product has just gotten over all better with being able to cloud store and backup on the go with a push of a button my question is and i may not being doing it right how does one back up the data as well (meaning the APK and data) or is this not possible and can only be done via nandriod backup?
You can backup and restore with data. Just check your preferences in TiBu, backup with external data, and restore with external data. I always restore my data (obviously not system apps), never had an issue once.

I have Titanium Backup because I saw it mentioned in a few forums as I was considering rooting. If I am now using nandroid and backing up apps on the SD using appsaver, is there any reason to keep Titanium? Does it have any features that make it worth keeping?

nandroid is a full back up, its either the whole thing or nothing. Titanium just backs up the app and data. I like to do full wipes before switching to a new ROM, but with titanium backup, i get to keep my apps and data
i think nandroid only does complete backup but you can choose an advanced restore to only restore you apps and data.
Recently discovered that both CWM and Titanium together do not backup EFS partition and probably a lot of other stuff.
Does anyone know of anything else what should be backed up next to efs partition that is not backed up by CWM and Titanium?
And of course know a way of how to back up/Restore it?
Anyone know of a solution that does back everything up? And not just portions such as Titanium and CWM?

1. use EFS Pro
2. use Titanium for your apps and their data
3. use CWMR for everything else (except the modem, it won't backup/restore it)
and you're covered. No universal all-in-one solution for now.
Cool thanks. Are the following frequencies of backup correct?
Efs pro backup once, or with every major (e.g. Gb to Ics) Os update
Cwm backup once per os update
Titanium, frequently backup

EFS once, CWMR once per update, Titanium according to your needs.
Guys!
Use TWRP, and tell it to backup everything. That'll do /data and /cache (personal stuff and cache) /system, /efs and somewhere else too. Only problem is that to back up data each time, you have to turn off, get in recovery, backup, reboot normally.
If I just want to have a back-up of my apps and settings (wi-fi, etc.), when I am changing ROMs and do a complete wipe, is there any advantage of using an app like Titanium compared to using the back-up/restore that is part of CWM? I assume when I restore (if I am changing ROMs), I only want to restore apps & data.. Is the back-up/restore in CWM what I see referred to as a Nandroid backup?

For the purposes you want, use TB. Then only the installed apps and settings get restored. If you use CWM backup (nandroid) and do a partial restore of only /data, you defeat the purpose of doing the wipe in the first place. It restores the system settings too, which is why you did the wipe to begin with, to get rid of those. But WiFi settings are system settings and if you want to keep those, don't wipe in the first place. But sometimes you have to to make the new ROM work right.

Hi guys
Im running CM9 beta 4 and i want to know where the app data of apps is stored.
So if i need to, i can restore them from a Nandroid backup cause my Titanium backups are not always as up to date as they can be but my nandroids are.
Thanks

It depends on the app, but most of app data is being stored in: sdcard/Android/data or (mostly games): sdcard/Android/obb.
Hmm...
I see the files but if I restore the apps from nandroid they are reset and don't use the data?
Phone: GT-I9001 Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Rom: CM9 RC 2 by arco86
Kernel: CastagnaIT 7.4 OC/UV
Did i help you? hitting the thanks button would be appreciated.
I'm not sure, if I fully understand what you mean by "Don't use the data"? I have no experience with nandroid backups, but my Titanium backups are restored without reseting any apps, it remebered of all my settings and updates. Make sure, you're doing a full backup.
App data are all stored in the /data partition
If you want to restore the data you can use nandroid Browser from play store but i think its better when you do an advanced restore in recovery and only restore the /data partition
Folks
I did a full backup of system, data, etc on TWRP (2.66gb total folder size) - can I assume that should I corrupt my phone somehow, I can restore from this and the phone will be in the exact state when I did the backup - all apps, logins, etc intact?
Also, I do weekly backups with titanium free edition - does titanium does the same thing or should I still do the above every few months?
Thanks

It's a complete "snapshot" of your phone as it was when you took it.
No titianium does not do the same thing. Titanium backs up individual apps and their respective data so you can restore individual apps or all apps at once. It's benefit is when switching roms where you have to wipe the phone and you can just restore your user apps without restoring any system data
I use the app ultimate backup to back up apps and data and I use the TWRP backups just as a safety measure before flashing a new ROM or update.......
I like to start a fresh you see with a new ROM, and then just install ultimate backup again, move over the back up data that I previously copied to my PC, and restore them, and this basically returns everything to how it was before due to the launcher, Nova, and its settings also being restored.
