Strange. On my S10 (stock Android 11, OneUI 3.1), I see the backup and restore option.
Open the secure folder, click on the 3-dots > Settings > Backup and restore > Backup secure folder data.
No backup option on the S21 Ultra secure folder. However, there is another option in the settings, called "uninstall." When you choose uninstall, the phone prompts you about restoring the data beforehand.
I suppose you could try uninstall, and then when all your data is decrypted/non-secure, you can then backup the data that way?
Upon your first setup on secure folder there should be a pop up there saying "Backup is no longer supported for Secure Folder, but you can still restore from previous backups."
So yeah, Backup is gone for Secure Folder now.
It seems the secure folder is still backuped in the cloud on S22.

How does this work? I have a full Titanium Backup and I remove a few Apps if I do Full backup again will my Removed Apps be totally gone in the Backup Folder or are they still there from Original Backup? If they are still in the Backup is there a way to get them out so if I need to restore the Removed Apps don't reappear on my phone?
Thanks
They will remain there.
To remove them you can either scroll to the bottom in Backup/Restore and select each one then hit "Delete" or Menu->Batch->"Delete backups for un-installed apps" then Menu->Refresh apps list
To batch restore apps without restoring specific ones Menu->Batch->"Restore all apps with data" then uncheck the apps you don't want to restore, and begin.

To MAKE SURE they are still there you need to HIT the menu button once you have opened up Titanium Backup, then HIT Preferences, scroll down to MAX BACKUP and change it from the default (1) to whatever hou want/need. I have mine set to three. This way it can save older versions of the appear. I have found that on occasion the newer version of apps sometimes have an issue so I go and use the previous version saved. This will also keep your uninstalled appear at the bottom with a line through them. You can usually just click on the lined through app and hit restore. Then choose either app or app+data. Also I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND the paid version. It will do the batch restore with one click of the restore appear+data. The free version will also batch restore them all but it goes through each app and you have to say okay each time for each app. Specially if you start trying out different rims every couple days like a lot of us do. Also the paid version (not sure.of the free version) let's you back it up to the external sd card. You just go to preferences, backup folder name, then type in external_sd/ in front of the TitaniumBackup that is already there and it will automatically change it to mnt/sdcard/external_sd/TitaniumBackup.
JUST MAKE SURE whenever you restore NEVER choose to restore system app and data. ONLY restore app+data or you will end up with force closes.

I do not have the paid version but I have a question about the free version. After I backup all the apps and system data, I removed a system application such as "My Files" which didn't cause any problems. If I try to click on the backed up (crossed off in TB) to restore it, I do not have the option to restore.
Is this normal or should I be able to restore a system application that I have backed up?
I've never restored a system app, and maybe that's a paid feature. If there isn't a simpler method, it's pretty easy to copy back in if you're running a custom rom.
Open the customrom.zip, copy system/apps/MyFiles.apk from it and put it in /system/app on the phone.
There are around 50 way to do that. Via USB copy the file to the phone and then use Root Explorer to copy it from /sdcard to /system/apps for example. If you don't see it again in the apps folder, reboot.
I never thought to open the custom rom zip file. thank you!
A tangential question
I've done the TiBu backup but don't see quickoffice in the backup file. Does anyone know why?
Since upgrading my Xoom to 3.2 titanium backup no longer is able to restore any of my apps. I'm assuming it's because they moved where the sd card is accessed from. Is there a fix for this?
Most likely your backups will become available to restore again if you copy the "TitaniumBackup" folder from your SDCard to the Xoom's internal storage folder.
Just go into titanium backup settings and change the path of the backup folder to where your apps were backed up on 3.2. Restart the app, and it should allow you to restore.

Yes, that's where i am going. It's Preferences -> Backup Folder Location. Once i am there it shows /mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup (which is wrong). I have no way of actually changing the location in here. It gives me options for "Use the current folder" or "Cancel".
figured it out...you have to use the back button down on the menu bar in order to navigate away from the current folder.

I made a backup of all my apps and system data from my previous Bionic and copied the TitaniumBackup folder with all the files over to my new bionic's internal SD. How do I go about restoring the apps and system data?
When I go to menu > batch, under "verify backups", it says there are 291. However when I go to "restore all apps with data", there are only 244. If I press run, it doesn't show any of my old apps. Just the current ones.
At the very bottom under "delete backups", it says there are 47 uninstalled apps I can delete. Those are the 47 apps I want to restore but I don't see them under the restore options. What do I need to do?
Well I was hoping to be able to restore the apps and data from the backups I created but apparently it only allowed me to restore the data after I reinstalled the apps one by one from the market.
Hit menu, and then Batch.
Then scroll down and select the one about restoring all apps and data. then when it shows you a list of everything, check deselect all.
Then scroll through the list and select only the ones you want to do the restore with data. Works great.
ps don't ever restore your system settings. you can restore wifi access points and BT pairings but other settings can cause annoying issues.
Have fun!
Whats the easiest way to backup the S-Memo data. Using it for meetings and with the new ROM's I would like to backup the data. Where is the data held?
Thanks
Sync with google or evernote. I never tried it but there is an option for it

Sync wic google docs
Its gud
Nd if u delete some doc frm ur fone..stil it wil remain on gdocs wich u cn use later
Deletd docs wont b syncd bak to ur fone
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Google sync does not work properly. If there are no memos on the phone and you try to sync back from google docs then it inserts the notes as pictures within notes. After a couple of such syncs the original note becomes a picture in a picture in a note. Needless to say the loss in resolution makes it impossible to read them.
A friend has the same problem so it is not just me. Does anyone know of a solution? The best would have been a folder that could simply be on the sdcard. I love using the S Memo application and just wish they had given some thought to the storage issue.
Thanks,
damn another unsolved thread!
for me syncing with "evernote" works fine, it also gives me the option to edit notes on the pc and sync it back to my phone, it is quite nice as my secretary shares a folder with me and she can send me in real time notes.
Unlike to Google evernote is really syncing, but this means if you delete a not or Snote then it is going to be deleted on the phone as well.

backup the S-Memo data
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have found a method of backing up the drawings / text from S-Memo exactly as they are (as in you are still able to draw and erase on them) but the backup process isn't exactly "easy".
NB: Now I am just going to assume that users who are reading this have never heard of Titanium Backup or are not familiar with the program.
====================
To backup S-Memo data:
1. Go into your app drawer and open the file explorer program My files (or any other file management program you have like Astro or ES etc).
2. Navigate to your external SD storage (/sdcard/External_SD) and create a folder there called Titanium (or any other name you desire). Once that's done you can exit.
3. Then you need to download the app Titanium Backup Free or Pro (Free version from Google Play here), Install.
4. Open Titanium Backup > click your phone's menu button > Preferences.
5. Select Backup folder location. Now, using your phone's back button to (suprise!) go back, navigate to the folder you created in step 1 of this guide (if you followed the guide it will be in /sdcard/External_SD/Titanium. After you are inside the folder you created, select Use the current folder. Now hit your phone's back button.
6. Still in Titanium Backup app, select the Backup / Restore tab from the top.
7. Scroll down and find the S-Memo app (screenshot 1 attached below). Single-tap it, then press the Backup ! button (screenshot 2).
8. Done!
p.s. Just a quick explanation of what we did, essentially we created a folder for Titanium Backup to store its backup files in a place that is not on the internal SD. Therefore if we decide to do a full system wipe which included the internal SD (whether deliberately or accidentally) our backup data would not be wiped with it (I think the default Titanium Backup location is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup i.e. on the internal SD for our phone).
====================
To restore S-Memo data:
1. Install Titanium Backup again (remember we wiped our phones, so the app is gone?).
2. Same process as steps 4 and 5 from above: Open Titanium Backup > phone's menu button > Preferences > Backup folder location > navigate to /sdcard/External_SD/Titanium (or wherever you saved it) > Use the current folder.
3. Now hit your phone's back button > then press the Backup / Restore tab.
4. Find the S-Memo app > select it > press Restore (screenshot 3). When you're done you can exit Titanium Backup.
Now here is where it gets interesting...
5. Open S-Memo... and you may notice the drawings / text you have created have been restored, but have one of the following problems:
- Image missing from the note preview.
- Only part of the image is visible in the note preview.
- The image preview is displaying something random.
This is what has happened: The drawings / text you have created from before have been restored, but the preview of the drawing / text has not been updated on your new system (I have no idea where S-Memo stores that). So if you select the drawing / text, it is an exact copy of the original, but you just can't see it in the S-Memo preview.
6. To get that preview back, do the following:
For drawings: Open the drawing > draw something (like a dot) > then you can erase it during the same drawing session > click Save.
For text: Open the text > type a letter or something > delete it during the same drawing session > click Save.
7. Now the preview of the note should accurately reflect the contents of the note!
====================
I'm not sure if there is another easier method than this, but I have been using this method successfully through multiple wipes (I should really stop messing around with system files ) to restore my S-Memos perfectly. A very long, but (I'm pretty sure!) a garuanteed method to work. If anyone else has another method do let us know.
Enjoy your restored notes
Retrieve original sketches which came with the Note
I seem to have lost the original sketches which came with my SNote. Does anyone know how I can retrieve them? I didn't back them up....
Anyone? Could anyone help me here?

You could try to search on the file system for the folder where the files are stored by the app.
Then use a file restore program to try and undelete the files.
ANd oh yeah, make BACKUPS! then you would not be in this situation (yes it is stating the obvious).
I have some additional info for users who update there Note app to the newer version.
You can use the same procedure as above to restore data + app.
Just rename the Smemo.apk, do a restore of app+data, remove the restored app, rename the newer Snote app to it's normal name and start it.
You will see some conversion, then it works (at least it did for me).
To restore the preview images, back up the /Sd Card/S-memo folder before you flash, then overwrite with your backup afterwards. The thumbnails / Previews are stored as ordinary JPGs.
Now if only I can manage to extract that folder from my nandroid backup... :silly:
why not use Titanium backup pro's cloud sync option - you can password protect all files too.
Even if my phone dropped to the bottom of the sea, i will always have my contacts, cal, apps and selected folders backed up and password protected online.
I have not tried restoring S memo data, but im sure TB pro will restore it fine.

This solution required device to be rooted first!
Or else nothing will work!
Hi guys.
I d like to unlock my Mi8 and install TWRP and try the unofficial Lineage OS16.
But before I do unlock my Mi8 I d like to backup an Image of my System including all data. Like a partition image of a Windows Partition. Is it possible with an locked and not rooted device?
Or will I have to do a soft backup and save all pics and files on my PC and use some inapp-backup features and save them on cloud like google drive?
TWRP can do such an imagebackup but to install it I have to unlock my device and it says that all data will be erased after unlock.
Is there a Windows10 APP or other way to backup the whole system in present condition?
No it's not possible.
Go to your settings > additional settings > backup and reset > local backup.
You can back up your system settings and most of your apps including data, but not WhatsApp, mobile banking apps etc.
The backup will be stored in the MIUI folder and you can copy it to your pc easily.
Im addition I recommend Google Photos to back up your pictures and videos.
If you want to back up other files (e.g. music, documents,...) you can simply copy them to your computer.
