So im new to android and ofcourse, came from iphone, and was able to just "backup" to icloud...
my contacts are already synced via google... i assume (dont have the phone yet) that photos and music, videos etc can all go on the mirco sd, then the phone is just for apps... so is something like titanium backup all i need? and does it save the backup to my micro sd incase something happens and i need to reset the phone with that backup?
is that the basics of it?
thanks!

Contacts and wifi access points and passwords are backed up to Google. TiBu will back up as much as much or as little as you want. And you can choose the location like Google drive or your sd card. Carbon Is good backup option too. and there is no need to be rooted

For Titanium Backup you need to have ROOT ACCESS
Like itunes and the iPhone, that's how the Galaxy and Samsung Kies is. You can completely backup your phone through Kies as well. If you care about warranty, you should root right now until they figure out how t unlock the bootloader and triangle away any history of you modding your phone just to be safe.

How can I transfer apps from one android folder to another? I don't know how to explain this but suppose I wanna switch from SD to NAND, how can I transfer all my information and apps I've downloaded on SD to NAND? Sorry if this has been answered before.
You can use Titanium Backup to back up and restore your apps, another backup/restore program I've heard good things about is My Backup, but I've never used it myself. I don't think you'll be able to do the equivalent of a NANDroid backup where everything is restored just as you left it, you'll probably have to set some stuff back up, such as email accounts, homescreen layouts, etc. but at least you won't have to search the market for each app and lose your app data.

Hi
Can someone recommend a way to backup phots/videos that are stored on SD card?
Thanks
SBackup or Rsync, I use SBackup to keep a copy of my entire SD card, which contains a daily Titanium Backup of my phone, so if anything goes wrong I can restore
MyBackup Pro is great for your purpose
Edit:
sorry i didn`t see right your question at the first time. You can use Mybackup Pro to archive all your stuffs in 1-2 files and then easily copy them to wherever you want (SSD,HDD etc.)

Is it possible to swap a nandroid from one Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to another Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (exactly the same tab) like swapping the nandroid from each tablet? In other words clone it...(do a Nandroid in one and restoring in the other) Thanks in advance.

yes, it possible
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it can be done and is very simple (to the poster above me: is it so hard to explain how to do something when someone is asking if it can be done instead of just saying yes? I see that on this site too often and I see it when I'm searching for the solution to a problem and come across threads discussing the problem that say SOLVED but the person doesn't explain how they solved it. Its ridiculous)
Anyway... Clockworkmod backups can be accessed with any file manager like ES File Explorer. On the SD card. The backups are saves in clockworkmod/backups/ and all you'd have to do is copy the folder that contains the backup you want to share to the tab you want to restore it in. Place the copied folder in the clockworkmod/backups/ then boot into recovery and restore it.

I don't see a "How" in the question. Then why should someone explain the entire procedure just for a confirmation question.
Also if he wants the procedure too, he can ask here again. Its no big deal
Thanks to both of you... I do know the process, done it many times, is just that I haven't tried it by restoring it on another phone or tablet in this case... Just wanted to be a 100% sure, lol that's all. So shake hands you both, and thank you both too! Take care guys...

Save them to your pc too. Ultimate safety measure. Saved me a few times.
On a related subject, would it be wise to copy or move Nandroid backups, (or Titanium backups), to a storage disk on a computer or USB drive? At nearly 1GB each, backups take up a lot of space on the SD card. If they can be safely stored somewhere else and copied back to the Tab's SD card, this would free up some prescious space on the SD card.
Is this a good plan or am I missing something?

I always keep at least the latest backup in the device, just in case I dont have my laptop close when I need it...

Yes, it is always best to keep the cwm and titanium backups in your system. But I always keep only the latest copy of both the backups in tab as a security measure as mentioned above.
I am curious about what is the best way to back up apps from my current Evo and restore them on another phone? I'm asking because I shattered my Evo's screen last night after a year of taking such good care of it...and through Asurion I will be receiving an Evo 3D. Sad to leave this dev community, but I will gladly take a dual core phone over my OG.
I use TB Pro to back up and restore between roms. I normally avoid Google's backup/restore app process because it takes too long over the internet, but does that service also backup the data for the apps as well? Like saving all my info in games and such. Thanks for any input
titanium backup, just be careful with what you restore on the new device (system settings for example are a no-no)
How am I going to restore apps that are on another phone with TB?

Go on the sd card of your current phone, copy it, [or use the same sd card] start up new phone, install titanium backup, then simply restore all apps+data, NOT system settings.

This. Also TB allows you to upload your backup to a dropbox account as well, no need to move the SD card but you trade speed for convenience (dropbox process takes longer since it has to upload when the backup is created then download when you restore to the new device)
And BTW OP yes TB will also backup your game data
TB is a sure way
So I've never rooted and unlocked my G2 since purchasing it which is very odd for me.
Since TowelRoot was so accessible and I've got some free time lately decided to get back in the game.
My problem or question comes from not having an SD card. Do I need to backup Data? Trying to do a backup in TWRP is like 8Gb and after some efforts i've only got 5gb free. Do I need to get chopping away or was that going to backup stuff that wasn't going to be messed with anyways?
Anyone know how to delete large selections of photos without having to click on them one by one or not doing all at once?

So are you rooted and have custom recovery now? 8gb seems like a lot. You could always store everything on your PC. To delete photos all at once you could make a folder then just delete the folder

Yeah, when I go into TWRP I can't back up because I'm out of space.
I'll backup on my computer soon so I can have piece of mind.
Thanks

If you want a back up that you can flash if you get in trouble all you need to backup is system, data and boot. If you backup everything you could just store on PC to save room. When you backup data system and boot shouldn't take too much room. No problem
