I'm going to RMA the N4 sometime soon. im new to android and don't have my phone rooted i wanted to know if there's any apps where i can backup all my data to my pc so when i get my replacement N4 i can easily get it set up.
Titanium backup pro you can even backup to cloud solutions such as Dropbox. Or just copy the backup folder to your PC then copy over onto your new device.

Super backup will also work. It was featured on The xda home page a few days ago.
Both titanium backup and super backup require root to back up data.
If you do root it you should restore to factory settings and unroot afterwards as warranty and root often don't mix.

Here you go, OP. This requires no root access. Only a PC.

Ok here goes. I hope this is the right place or close to it. I have a Droid X with Android 2.2 on Verizon. I rooted using z4Root and then I made a complete backup with Titanium Backup of all apps and data. I haven't messed with any custom ROMs yet. I have just rooted and backed up. I saw today where there is a bad spot on the screen and I will probably get a new Droid X. With what I have done so far, can I just take the SD Card from my 1st X and restore the new one to just like the old one using Titanium Backup and restoring from it? Do I root the new phone first? How do I go about this? Thank you for your time.
Yeah just root and install titanium backup on your new phone then restore using the batch restore option and you should be good to go.

Thank you! I appreciate it.
No worries, I usually let google sync download all the apps off the market then just use titanium backup for the app data. The apps will start downloading right after you put in your google account info. It will take a bit if you have a bunch of apps, just open the market and go to my apps and you'll see them all downloading.

after I installed the rom, I can not do backup restore with titanium. my help
Today my replacement Nexus came in. I had a backlight bleed problem. New unit seems perfect. I spent a lot of time getting the first one right, and was wondering if there were any tips to ease the transition to the new device. I never rooted because I didn't want to void the warranty knowing I'd be returning it. And so Titanium is out, as is Nandroid. Are there for example apps that will backup your current apps and restore them even if it's done through the google play store? Or how can you save your backed up Nova Launcher settings to a new device without root? Is there a file that you can move for example? Any help would be much appreciated!

You can back up almost all of your apps using ES File Explorer without needing to be rooted. It won't back up a few apps that have special permissions. You can back up a lot of your data using MyBackup Pro. And if you have a Dropbox account its then easy to copy your backed-up apps and data there using ES File Explorer. You can then delete the backups to retrieve the space. I do this myself at least once a week.

While it is a ton easier to have unlocked (that is what wipes the device, not rooting it), and root the device... you can backup using adb...

Personally, I've never tried it... but if you are desperate... its something you can try...
So i was wondering if anyone has ever needed to back up all there apps to a location other then there phone/tablet. it would be cloud storage i would think. reason is i need to backup all my apps and have then to be restored apon receiving replacement nexus. I herd sandisk memory zone? thanks.
MyBackup Pro has an option to backup to online storage and restore. I'm not sure if the free version has that option but I know the paid version does.

I use the following process to ensure I can restore my whole device to a brand new unit if necessary.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29550640
I use my workstation rather than a Cloud for a Number of reasons. The best being that the workstation has a triple redundant backup, and if I really need access to it remotely I already have that ability.
I used this to create a restorable copy of a completely setup device to a brand new unit successfully already.

I create the same functionality with Dropsync. It basically lets Dropbox function the same on your tab as your computer. I run my backups with TiBu in the early morning, and although syncing can be slow, it easily finishes before I get up. I was already using Dropbox so this was the most convenient solution for me.

I forgot to mention that i would like an option to do an entire backup without having to root first. From my understanding rooting it would wipe user data? so then there would be no point lol

Rooting doesn't wipe the data, Unlocking the Bootloader does. Why unlocking should be done before doing a lot of work.
You can use adb to do a backup of your system, but none of the other things I talked about will work. No point in moving it to a cyberlocker since it will already be on your computer/workstation.

While TB is something that I do and end up with a copy in my backup system, it is not what I use to restore to a new device. Instead I use the Nandroid Backup (created with TWRP). Much much faster and more complete. Only need to move over the Nandroid backup files after you have unlocked the new device and rooted, and put the recovery on the device. Then simply do a restore in recovery wipe Davik and Cache and you are right back where you were with the other device.
The sync to the workstation via the Cheetah Sync is much faster than syncing to dropbox and I am backing up more than just the TB files for a more useful backup.

TitaniumBackup+ has support for backing up to Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive.
I use App Backup & Restore to backup every app I install (automatically), then Dropspace to push it to my Dropbox (automatically). Then I relax with a cappuccino and carrot cake.
Hi guys, I have a need for speed most wanted version 1.0.28 and there are some problems with it, i decided to update it ( game is not original ).
Is there any way to backup my progress or save them somewhere?
( I have origin account, does it save my progress online? )
tnx
Root your device
Install titanium backup from playstore(free)
Backup NfsMW
Install new update then go again to
Titanium backup and go to NFsMW
Restore DATA ONLY
or else if manually you wanna do.
Data is kept at
/root/data/data/here
^^you will find NfsMW filw there copy the folder in a secure place.
Install update ..then copy back the backed up folder at
/root/data/data/here
U can replace the existing one..then put permission as the other folders.
Thats it..now open the updates game
No technique without Rooting your phone. Sorry
-Rik[Rittik]
tnx, will try it, by the way I'm rooted
Or you could simply PURCHASE the app, replay it, and not have to worry about losing progress on future updates.

You can use titanium back to save and restore the data once you have to update installed. For that matter, carbon backup will do it for non rooted devices too.
By the app its worth it

Can I backup my 2012 N7 and restore it to my 2013?
The 2012 is rooted and unlocked on 4.3.
If so when I boot it up should I tell it to load everything from google play restore, skip it, where to start.
Thanks!
If you're talking about a NANDROID, you can't.

You can back up your apps and system data (wifi, sms etc) with Titanium or ROM Toolbox, and restore it to the new tablet.
Be aware that restoring app data to another ROM may be problematic for some apps, so be ready to erase app data for apps that misbehave (no notifications, force closes etc.).
Don't ever restore system data to a device that is not the same model and does not have the same ROM. Only restore your apps and app data.

So an adb backup would be fine then.

If you are rooted, you can use titanium backup to save all of your apps and data. Save the titanium backup folder on your SD to your computer then do whatever you need to do. After that, put the folder where it needs to go and use TB to restore them.
ADB is fine as long as you do not restore any system apps or data.

First of all, thanks to all for the quick help! I am leaving on vacation in a day and kinda wanted to get this going
So in Titanium I would do a full backup with option 1 it looks like "Backup all user apps" since I don't want any system data.
Pushing it to a USB drive now. No SD on a Nexus 7 sadly.
Exactly. Then save the titanium backup folder that your backups get saved to, to a safe place off of the device
