I am rooted and obviously want to get rid of some of the stock apps.
I downloaded titanium backup, I used the batch operation to backup all user apps+system data. Is that the only kind of backup I need to do? Do I need to back anything else up?

I am very pleased to see Nandroid 'cooked in' to the unrEVOked2 tool.
Can anyone tell me if an app (and specifically MYBACKUP) can backup your apps (APPS + APP DATA if rooted) from one ROM, and then restore it to another? I realize that we can't do the same with "DATA" because the layout may not be the same, but can installed APPS+APP DATA from one ROM simply be restored into another?
Thanks!

User apps, app data--yes. I use Titanium Backup, since Mybackup went forced pay, I haven't used it. Now that we have fix_permssions (err, not yet yet), restoring apps should work very well. Yay.
Titanium Backup
I have downloaded titanium and understand how to back up apps but I am lost on how to pull them back and restore them once I have done and wipe and flashed a rom. Anyone have some advice on how to do this? I have searched the web and cant seem to find a place that gives a good explanation
When you backup an app or app+data with Titanium Backup it is saved to your SD Card. When you wipe and flash a new rom, if the rom does not have Titanium Backup (most don't have it cooked in) then you need to download it from the market. It will see the backups you have and from the main app screen you will click on Backup/Restore. Then click on the app that you wish to restore and it will bring a pop-up that gives you buttons with actions to choose from. Click Restore and it will ask if you want to restore the App only or app+data. If you choose App+Data, it should restore to the state that it was in when you made the backup, meaning that it should retain your settings.

So outside of doing a batch backup every now and then to keep everything up today I dont have to do anything else but just reload titanium on the new rom
Not that I know of.
Is there any 100% definitive way to take my phone the way it is now and back it up like a disc image to be restored later on without problems including apps in the right place? I'd like to do this to try out another ROM for a few hours. I just want it to all go back the way it was when I'm done. Is there any backup that will do that flawlessly?
And then is there any way to set Titanium so it doesn't ask you to confirm EVERY SINGLE app installation?
Thanks!
It's called Nandroid backup, and it's done from recovery.
And about Titanium - yes, there is. Buy a license.
Ok on the nandroid backup. Great.
And with Titanium, I DO have the paid version. I can't find the setting that lets you restore without confirmations..?
Sorry, if this seems like a newbie question. Maybe it is, though I don't feel like a newbie.
How do you restore apps+data between flashes? I have tried titanium backup, creating update.zip or just batch restoring, I tried myBackup and Superbackup. But I can't find a backup that will consistently restore apps and data for a painless flashing experience. I always have to re-enter account data for dropbox, evernote, whatsapp, etc. etc. etc.
What do you do?
Buy Titanium Backup

I did, I have.
But it doesn't help. For many apps, configuration is lost on restore. Or am I doing something wrong?
I put dropbox & evernote on a zip, flashed them, but configuration was lost. I restored them within Titanium,
and it was still lost.
Make sure you tick app + data when you restore apps.
personally i have used only few apps like whatsapp , here maps and google keep
and all my data was restored.
You do have type your google accounts information by yourself.

I backup apps via TB .
But on a rom flash i wipe rom flash rom test .
Then restore Data only from Nandroid backup .Works except when moving from JB to KK or similar major upgrade .All settings and layouts restored on stock based roms .
Guys, I am really looking to find a solution for a device without root / TWRP / Titanium Backup:
How (the hell) or which application does a full backup of the apps with their data? Titanium Backup was the place to go, and also Nandroid backups were great. But since I don't have root any more, I still have to find a way to backup like in the good old days.
I used Samsung Smart Switch yesterday on my PC to backup, only to discover after a reset that it doesn't backup and revert the app's data... every setting, login, etc. had to be redone from scratch!
The freaking backup solution should also backup the settings and everything of the app...
Tell me there's something for non-rooted users, that can't be!
Thx
