Hi,
Anyone know of a APP that can backup certain folder OTA?
I want to backup some folders to my FTP every night over 3G or wifi.
Thank you,
I use Titanium Media Sync. It allows you to select sync folders and it allows multiple differenet destinations including dropbox, ftp,sftp and ftps
And it's written by the Titanium Backup folks.

I use Syncness. Along the same lines as Titanium Media Sync but I believe more useful.

I have rooted my Droid X and installed Titanium Backup. I want to do a backup but am concerned with including the contact and calendar data. Since I am on an Exchange account and Gmail, I don't need to back up the actual data files. What are the names of the data files for contacts and calendar? There are several "Contacts...." and "Calendar..." files. One says storage, another data, which one do I exclude?

i have found if i restore ANY data i have the syncing symbol on my notifications bar all the time, i do the batch Restore all missing apps and click app only from now on
If you have them syncd to your Gmail account, they are ALWAYS backed up. Menu, Settings, Accounts & Sync, check the "Contacts" check box and all of your contacts sync to Gmail.
I do understand that the are essentially backed up via sync with Gmail and/or corp exchange. That is why I don't want to backup that data with Titanium Backup. When I open Titanium Backup, I do the following.
Select Backup/Restore tab
Select Menu>Batch
Select Run Backup all system data
When I scroll down, I see the following Contacts files
Contacts 2.2.1
Contacts Storage 2.2.1
Contacts Sync 2.2.1
Contacts Sync Adapter 2.2.1
ContactsData 2.2.1
ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1
Which of those files should I deselect so if I need to do a restore I don't receive duplicate contacts?

This has been fixed in the newer versions. (At least in my experience) the last restore I did with TiB I restored EVERYTHING and do not have the sync symbol stuck there anymore. This used to happen to me also but not as of late with the newer updates of Ti.

I have gotten a replacement DroidX and this has happened to others as well. While other I had did not have this phenomenon. But after I reestablished root and installed Titanium Backup, i notice "ContactsUnconnected 2.2.1" is frozen. I unfreeze it, reboot, and it is frozen again. And I never froze it to begin with. And my previous DroidX did not have it frozen do I have yet another possessed DX? With a mind of it's own? Wanting to be a real Android (boy)?" (bad Pinochio" reference). What exactly DOES "ContactsUnconnected" do? Is it still an unknown variable as it has been since day one?
Many thanks in advance. (Please ignore my phone info on my profile if it still says WinMo. As I have not had a chance to update my info yet)
Hi guys,
I want to back up contacts, sms and apps with there data. Backup and restore be simple
Is there any solution to do this with out rooting?
I think you might need to root for a full backup of all your data. But if you want to backup only contacts and smses, there are apps for that. Alternatively you might be able to save into your SIM card.
Rooting allows greater access to system files so as to do a full backup, with nandroid or titanium.

Rooting your phone is the best way to back up apps n data using any of these apps
1. My backup pro
2.titanium backup
For SMS backup use Backup n restore SMS app
For contact best thing to do is Google sync it

I wonder how do you guys back up your contacts. Coz I don't feel like back it up all to gmail account. Any alternative easy way?
I always backup contacts by exporting them to SD card. Its an in build feature of every android rom.
I mostly use My Phone Explorer: syncs with windows contacts (but no autosync over network)
Use any of the backup apps. You can backup to sdcard or online..
I used GO backup when going to CM9 and it worked like a charm. Much better than free Titanium backup by the way.
I use wondershare mobilego app from PC and take backups. it takes backups of all android phones , recentcalls missedcalls lists, messages,contacts all backued up in PC
if youre on cm9, you dont need any extra apps to backup your contacts. just go into people>menu>import/export>export to external storage. this will create a file on your sdcard, which you can later use to restore the same way.

God damn...I didn't notice there's export/import feature... That is good enough for me...Thank you guys.
I don't see why it's necessary to install an app to do this.
Hi,
I'm going to venture into the world of Custom ROMs for the first time, and before starting I wanted to take a data backup, mainly Contacts, Messages, Photos, Copilot Maps, HTC Location Data, etc
Is there an app that can achieve this for me?
Note: I have an unrooted phone & need an app that'll work in unrooted mode.
The reason for the above is that to Root my phone via AAHK, AAHK needs to downgrade my build first (and that means full wipe).
Contacts are backed up online on Google. for SMS, use SMS BAckup & Restore. I started writing small tutorial on my site, not finished yet, but I covered rooting and backing up: http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectROMs.htm
cheers,
D.
You can use My Backup Pro, they have a free (time trial) version. In your case you will only use it for one day I'm guessing.
You need to install it again after you root your phone in order to restore your files.

After you get root, the best app to go to is TitaniumBackup. They also have a free version.

As for your contacts and SMS, dalanik (post above) got you covered
Go backup.. its free

That's true. You don't need any app to back up ur contacts. All u need to do is setup a gmail account, and then your contacts will sync automatically with ur account!
As for Titanium Backup, you can only use it if you are rooted. In the OP case TB doesn't work. He needs to use an app that doesn't require root. My Backup Pro will do (they have a free time trial edition)

To backup SMS & MMS I recommend message sync.
Agreed... As above, I only use gmail to backup my contacts and calendar... As for other data, I use MyBackup Pro... Never tried titanium backup though because mybackup pro works for me just fine.
I've just gone through this process myself today. I purchased the My Backup Pro app and backed up my Apps and my Data to my SD card.
If you choose to use this App, do the following after downloading it:
Backup your data and your Apps to your SD card.
After flashing a new ROM, don't panic!
Log into your google account, go to the marketplace and download My Backup Pro again and open the App.
Press on restore and then restore your Data and your Apps.
The App also allows you to move Apps to AS card to free up internal phone storage space.

If you have rooted your device, you can continue using My Backup Pro; especially if you have purchased the paid version.
However, if you only have the Time Trial version, you can download Titanium Backup (Free Version). I have been using TB (though Paid version) for a long time. I'm happy with it.
Hi,
over the past years I have been flashing more than 50 different ROMs on my S2 so I wanted to share with everyone how I restore my favourite config and data every single time.
I will list all the different items that are important for me to restore. If you want to add others that matter for you please do.
I am NOT going to explain how to flash a new ROM. There are dozens of threads about that already.
BEFORE flashing the new ROM here is what I do:
1) Apps:
Backup all user apps + data with Titanium Backup and save them to external SD card.
2) SMS:
Backup all SMS + Call Log to my Gmail Account with any backup/restore SMS app
3) Calendar and Contacts:
My calendar events are always created on my google or exchange account so I just have to sync, same for contacts.
They are auto restored when logging in to Google account on the newly flashed ROM.
4) Launcher:
I prefer Nova Launcher so it's easy to make a backup of my favourite launcher config.
After this is done (~10 mins of work) you can save your new ROM file to SD card and flash it in recovery mode.
When entering the new ROM (fully wiped!) you can restore everything in the following order:
1) Calendar and Contacts will be auto restored once you are logged in to your Gmail account
2) Install Titanium and restore Apps (some apps don't work when restored so you have to fresh install them, most of them work fine)
3) After apps you restore backed up Nova config
4) Restore SMS and Call log (This can be done at any moment)
The whole process (backup, flash and restore) takes about half an hour maximum.
If someone can improve/approve this method please share!
PS: My question to everyone: Is there a way/app to save/restore the android settings between ROMs?
Try making a CWM backup and restore using Nandroid Manager app
Well that will just restore my backed up ROM right?
The above guide is for installing a new ROM after full wipe and recovering your personal data and apps in that new ROM...

The first step i don`t thing is gonna work if your gonna change from 4.1.2 to 4.2 or 4.3. I guess you have to do some settings in Titanium.
if you dont have important data on the apps you can go to installed app on google play and install them, and if you backed it thru google backup turn on the wifi and it will download them automaticly
quiet imekesm
Backupping apps with TB is kinda useless since Google synchronizes apps from your last installation. Also restoring data could be harmful for your device stability if it runs different android versions. Maybe you should write in OP
I always stay on 4.1.2 because it serves me best so the TB method works perfectly. I also feel like TB does a better job then Google backup

you can also try go backup pro for apks and data ...and my backup pro for phone setting
Google backup restores app data too?

Thanks for this. Its been really useful for me
But doing these backups, then changing rom there is the risk of creating compatibility problems?
Only compatibility risk is if you're going to another Android version from what you had before (4.1.2 to 4.2.2 for example). Still most of the apps will work fine...
If an app fc's reinstall it from
scratch, still better then the need to reinstall all of them...

I have found that Titanium Backup works quite well for me. I use the pro versions and haven't had problems restoring apps and even settings after flushing new ROM.
