I hope you are right, otherwise im coming after you
It does NOT backup /data/media. Which is everything you see mapped to /sdcard.
Kind of crazy IMO. I once did a full factory reset and lost all my /data/media because I thought I had a backup.

ti backup
Titanium backup is what I would sugest
A nandroid backup will only backup the things you check off in the backup screen. By default nandroid will backup all the necessary files to boot back into a rom. The best way to backup applications is to use titanium backup, which will backup not only the application, but also the data from yhe application.

follow-up
I've been searching here and other sites using Google and I'm still not sure about /data/media. Could it be considered non-critical?
I just got my tablet yesterday, haven't had time to customize much. If I had to revert to a nandroid backup without /data/media, would it just be a matter of re-entering the system settings I want and pulling my apps back down from Market?

Moot point now. I went ahead and installed Epiphany. Don't plan on going back.

every time civato update his rom a have to do all this procedure : -wipe all , factory reset , format and flexrom and if I update from FLEXREAPER R14 to FLEXREAPER RF1 i going to lose all my data??? (sorry for my bad english)
Use a backup program for your apps and backup to external sd card, backup downloaded data to external sd card.
Keeps all your data safe and intact.....easy peasy.

I use titanium backup
Why aren't you doing a Nandroid backup? That's by far the most convenient way to restore user data including all setup and homescreen settings. This is also the method Civato is recommending.
Such a nandroid backup is a backup performed with your recovery. Just do first a full backup, then do a full wipe and flash the ROM. After doing the start-up installations (wifi, google account), you are booting again into recovery. Then you are doing an advanced restore selecting user data (/data) only to be restored (resoring system and others would replace the new ROM by the old one). Then you get back all your apps and settings.
With best regards, maris

Thanks that's what I was looking
How does everyone back up they're apps, photos, etc. I wanna flash a custom ROM but I have everything setup on stock ROM so its holding me back

How to backup:
- when not rooted:
photos, etc.: connect your Nexus 7 to a PC and copy the files to your PC
apps: use a backup app like "App backup & restore" from play store or "titanium backup"
you cannot backup the settings for each app, like your progress in a game. :crying:
- when rooted:
photos, etc.: connect your Nexus 7 to a PC and copy the files to your PC
apps: use a backup app like "App backup & restore" from play store or "titanium backup"
Titanium backup can also backup each app's settings including your progress in a game.
I use Titanium Backup so I can always restore to whatever state I want independant of the (custom) ROM I'm using
but Titanium backup isn't the only tool that can do this, ROM Toolbox (Pro) can also do this.
Anyway, having a custom recovery is essential if you want to install custom ROMs, and to install a custom recovery
you need to be rooted ! (I use TWRP recovery on my Nexus 7 btw.)
Good luck !
^^ what peter said, might I recommend getting titanium backup pro if you get the flashing bug, the extra features help a lot.
Cheers Danny
I recommend titanium backup to backup apps. Everything else is app dependent... I usually backup launcher layout. These backups are stored on your sdcard which is not wiped when flashing so no need to backup to the PC. Also make a nandroid in recovery in case you need a restore point or you don't like your new ROM.

No. There is a partition on the N7 called "sdcard" which is just your internal storage, an emulated SD card if you will. It will only wipe the data, cache, dalvik, and system partitions which leave your data unharmed.

Unless you still have a locked bootloader, in which case everything will be wiped. Err... right?

If true, that's a good point to go rooted! ONE More
And then Just to clean applications through google play reinstall. A good way to do it remote from your computer. hence i see how important are the application I previously had.
I used to use titanium backup, Now I use MYbackup Pro. Very simple to setup and use. But still does everything that most people would need.
Another level of backup I use is Applist Backup. It creates a file list of your apps on your sdcard. If you need to restore it links to the play store. I don't use it on the N7, but I do on my phone. If nothing else I don't have to try to remember what apps I have installed.
Personally I never back up data. It's sync'd with Google or the app has its own backup routine.

Has anyone backed up apps on 4.2.1, with a second user?
I am on stock rooted 4.2.1 and have my own user profile (with apps/widgets/settings) and also the wifes on another user profile. We both use our own google user details (for play store etc), does each user have to do a separate back up? I've used titanium before but just wondering how it works with more than one user, as I believe titanium now supports 4.2+, but chainfire SU root currently only works on the 'owner' user profile.

After you backup in titanium backup its always a good idea to create a backup zip and save it to Dropbox /Box/Google Drive or whatever cloudy storage you use just in case

is there a way to back up my data on computer? Im using win 8 and i have got a lot of issues with my n4 driver

What do you want to backup and what do you want to use it for?
If you just want to create a backup so you can restore your complete phone you can create a nandroid backup with e.g. custom recovery TWRP.
If you want to backup some apps+data and e.g. settings you can use Titantium backup. It can backup/restore settings and apps including data one by one or batch.
Both above methods store the files on the simulated sd-card. If you cannot copy them with USB connection you can use AirDroid or something.
I know titanium backup is great for user apps. But what about system data like contacts, photos and SMS which isn't synced to a Google account. What's the best way to backup and restore these for installing a custom rom.
