Hi,
So on my old nexus galaxy, I backed up a couple of my apps with Titanium backup (minecraft, keepsafe). I then uploaded the titanium backup folder to dropbox. When I got my nexus 4 I downloaded the copy of the backup folder from dropbox, and then I restored the two apps app and data. The app restores fine, but there is NO data from the apps. For example I go to the Minecraft worlds folder and its empty. Does titanium not backup data on sd cards? The backup zips seem to be large...
THanks,
Michael

Titanium will backup the app and it's data, it will not backup and restore anything saved to an SD card, which is where that type of game data would reside.
Try creating a game and saving it. Once you find it, copy the files from your sd card to the folder where your new save was created.
Preferences > Backup app external data > Enabled (Always). Do that and SD data will be backed up

Do i need to install titanium backup to external sd card so i cab restore the backup on internal sd card of GT? I am asking because if i flash the device and the tit. backup is on the internal sd card everything will be deleted including tit backup app so from where i can restore my backup?
No need. You just install titanium on the phone and do the backup. You can then move the entire directory to your external sd card. When you flash, you just install it again and then restore your backup.
/Feras - Galaxy Tab
sorry which directory to move you are talking about?
No need to move anything. Just change the backup folder in TB - Menu - Preferences - Backup folder name from the default of TitaniumBackup (which is on the internal SD card) to external_sd/Titanium Backup (which is on the external SD card). Voila! You may need to reinstall TB from the Market if you have deleted everything but the backups will remail on your external card.
norm2002 thanks, you know without changing the directory (before reading your post) i backed up everything and then flashed with JMI, flashed perfectly and then installed Titanium back and when i tried to restore i see no files to restore it was 0 written. I was assuming TB uploads all data to it's server but now No Voila for me. But now you taught me how to backup. Will press thanks for your help.

That was very helpfull. Had the same problem wenn i flashed the Roto-rom. Thought i was covered with Titanium. But the flash deleted mij internal-sd. Now all is on the external and i am very pleased..
i've always run how norm2002 describes it. hasn't failed me yet.
oh men, no offence, but this forum is becoming a rubbish container...
times ago I remember this forum as one where there were only advanced users posting their finds and where the newbies could read and learn about...
but now every new(to android and not only!) user is opening 3d here and there so the usefull 3d are going to finish bottom page or even in the other pages and finding what you need is becoming just as searching a needle in the rick.
so please USE THE SEARCH BUTTON and some nous before posting such things...for the "well being" of the XDA comunity...
thanks and I repeat : NO OFFENCE INTENDED!
how could somebody pretend to mod his cell/tab without even reading the settings in the apps he uses?
.....to posterity the arduous sentence!

Thanks, I'll make the change too.
If you want to be sure, you could always copy the titanium backup folder from the tab to your PC(USB), and copy it back after formatting/flashing a rom.
Nice tip norm2002! I can't count the times I have deleted my precious backups when I repartitioned!
Thank you all, you guys are very informative.

The more places you can have backup files saved, the safer you are. With TB it's wise to have the backup files stored on:
- External SD card
- PC
- Dropbox
This way, regardless of what happens, you have your backup files safe and can set up your Tablet (or a new one if your old Tablet gets lost/stolen) easily.
Ok guys thanks for all the answers
The dropbox option is very cool!
Hey guys,
could you help me out restoring my settings with titaniumbackup, here's my problem:
I backed up my settings on my previous rom (DHDrom SD), then flashed to cyanogenmod7, but to get rid of all the garbage on my SDcard(like stupid pictures and sounds used in wmapplications that appear in my android gallery and music application) i wiped my SDcard clean (i did backup my SD on my computer). But now is the problem that titaniumbackup obviously can't find the backup file anymore because i wiped my SDcard. So...
Is there a way to fish up my backup file from the SDcardbackup on my computer and get it properly onto my actual SD so that titaniumbackup could use it to restore my settings?
im sorry for being a nb
Thanks!

Hi,
Looking at my own sd card ,I've got a TitaniumBackup folder and a TitaniumBackup-3.7.3.2.zip.
See if you have anything like on your pc backup, restore them to the card,and see if that restores your settings.
nope didnt work the only thing i can find with the name titanium in it is an empty folder in the data folder
The default location for Titanium backup is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup. If that folder doesn't exist or is empty, then it seems your backup is lost.
Okay and couldn't it be hidden in the root folder somewhere because titaniumbackup always asks for root access? Because I used the free root version of titaniumbackup?
Anyways thanks for answering!!
TitaniumBackup will backup all apps and system data, but does it backup data stored onto the internal SDcard ? Say you copy a few albums and some pictures onto the SDcard, will Titanium figure this out ? My gut feeling is that it does'nt and if so, what would you recommend to take care of this ?
I would like to install a new ROM, and I know from past experience that the SDcard on the 'Nexus 7' will be completely wiped and want to ensure that I don't loose any data
I backup all my data regularly offsite by using both TB and nandroid backups, then use a sync app to copy the data including other folders (Like pictures) to a workstation.
Lost/Stolen/Broken/Messed up by a ROM update, I can restore and be back like new (even with a new device).

Excellent advice, thank you !
i sync to my ftp server..
But ti backup will backup to and restore from a sd card with OTG Cable. Done it several times. just set your backup location to the sd card while its mounted.. but do not unmount while ti is open do not unplug otg without unmounting.. You WILL CURRUPT YOUR BACKUP.. YES I DID THIS once too...
Good Luck.. TI sync app is so very slow and useless ..
i use andftp. app
Well if your already unlocked, your SD card won't be wiped when you install ROMs.....

so I backed up everything with titanium backup, and copied the whole contents of my internal storage to my pc, then I wiped and flashed 4.2. Now I copied my titanium backup folder back to my internal storage, and guess what? It doesn't see any of my apps! what gives?

4.2 does something strange because of the new Multi-User Feature.
Place the TiBu folder where you want it.
Open the app and click on the settings button.
Click on Preferences.
Look for backup folder location.
Click on detect and wait.
If that doesnt find it the back arrow soft-key will take you up to the previous folder keep going up till you get to the root folder (by root folder i mean when it says "/") and then from there find your backups.
hope this helps

Did you reload the app view? Used android 5+ provider selection for? Did you have the backups in internal or external SD card?
