Restoring with TitaniumBackup - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, any info I've found doesn't help clarify one big question for me:
I just installed Resurrection Remix onto my m7spr, from an old version of Sense. I want to restore user apps/data using my Titanium Backup, however I didn't clean out the old system app/data backups prior. I don't want to restore any system data, as I'm sure it's not compatible and will likely corrupt new system data, or just be entirely useless and wasting space. Is there a way to do a batch restore that does not include system apps/data?
Additional info:
My batch restore options are as follows:
Restore missing apps with data (250)
Restore all apps with data (314)
Restore all system data (277)
Restore missing apps + all system data (101)
Restore newer versions of user apps (0)
I'm reasonably certain I don't have 250 missing user apps that need restoring.
Thanks

Playing around with it a bit I discovered you can individually select/deselect the apps you wish to restore from a list, and do a selective batch restore. This is what I was looking for.

Yes, best way is to install the apps you want from play store and then restore only app data for those apps. If you restore complete apps it makes problems very often espacially between different android versions.

[Q] Backing up/restoring apps

I've been running Cog 2.2B7 ever since it first came out. I like it fine. But I am thinking of maybe going with a Perception rom to try out the HSUPA and built-in lag fix. I've accumulated tons of apps on my phone.
What is the best way to save the state of my phone so after flashing to a new rom I can restore it quickly without having to go and download 50 or so apps all over again.
I have Titanium Backup, but havent really used it much for backing up/restoring apps. Last time I used it I backed up all the AT&T bloatware apps then uninstalled them. However I was unable to re-install them from the Titanium backups. So, I thought it was a waste.
I also have the premium version of ROM Manager. I've made several Nandroid backups but everytime I go to restore one of those backups the restore process crashes, every single time.
I guess all in all, I have had **** for luck with backing up and restoring.
Any advice or instructions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Most of the ROMs have a wipe and nowipe version. If you install the no wipe version, all your apps and settings are still present after flashing. If you need to install a wipe version, Titanium backup is the best thing.. Here are the steps:
1. Open Titanium Backup
2. Click Menu button -> batch
3. Run backup all user apps (or user apps + system data - maybe dangerous)
4. It gets backed up in the internal SD card (My Files Home) in the folder Titanium backup.
5. Copy this folder to the PC or external SD, coz master clear would clear the internal SD card.
6. After flashing, copy the folder to the internal SD card (if it's not already present coz of master clear)
7. Open Titanium Backup.
8. Click Menu button -> batch
9. Run Restore Missing apps +data (or missing apps +system data)
10. Voila!! done!

Point to add:
Do NOT restore system data on different versions of ROMs. Some of them tend to fail, and this could cause FCs.
Even when restoring apps data, be careful. When u r moving between android versions, it would recommended to install just the apps, and not data. There is a high possibility of data location changes in db between versions.

[Q] Backing up in Titanium Backup

Just wondering guys. Every time before you flash a new ROM and run backup to backup all your own stuff, do you guys backup apps only or plus system data?
I seem to vaguely recall from my HD2 days that it is not encouraged to backup system data too yeah?
backup app only . ignore system data . if not if you are restoring the system as well it might crash with the new system file of your rom
Thanks neighbour

How to restore backup if the Android ID has changed?

I had backed up many apps along with the data using titanium backup and tested few Roms. Now i am back to stock and tried to restore the apps but TB said that my Android ID has changed. I restored my previous ID using TB. But even now i am unable to restore any backed up apps or data. All the apps that i had backed up are appearing in the list with a strike on them but no option to restore them. Is there any way to restore all these apps??

How to move your data after ROM installation

Hey Guys ,,
is there any way to move a backup data to the ROM
i have ATT note 3,, i did backup using safe strap and after x note ROM instillation i tried to do restore data but it failed,,,any solution
I believe the Safestrap backups are similar to just TWRP or Nandroid backups.
They'll save the entire partition as is, to restore back to that state at a later date.
They aren't good for, say, moving all your apps and appdata to a new Rom.
For that, you should use Titanium Backup or a similar backup manager like Helium.
Then back up just the apps and appdata (not system apps, since they'll often conflict with the new rom) to your SDCard, and restore them when on the new app.
Sorry, it doesn't help when you've already done the TWRP backup and flashed a new rom.

TWRP backup location

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.
