What do you want to backup?
you can use a application like MyBackup
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup
Or if you have root you can use titanium backup

I was updating its software. When I connected it to pc it asked me for update I accepted it. Then it said u need to take back up of it.
so what things should be backedup before upgration. M new to android. So would love to here it from experienced ppl

99% of the time nothing will be lost with updating firmware/android.
if you have google sync on it will save your contacts and calendar. There is google backup it will restore the installed apps, not the data (don't know why).
so if something goes wrong you will loose your savedata, sms and bookmarks, nothing on your SD.
You can make a backup of sms with free apps like:

or paid apps like MyBackup

It should include wifi access points, installed apps (not save data). go to
"settings > Privacy" you will find the option there

everything on your Extern SD card will be remained, not sure of the internal SD space. i never did a wipe on the phone, even after updating through Kies
Thanks

Kies asks you if you want to make a backup just before it starts flashing the new firmware. In my case everything was backed up: contacts, call log, sms, mails, settings, data partition, ... the whole backup is around 2GB. I think that should include everything. And for the worst case scenario, Google can backup your stuff, except the App Data (Savegames ...).
Best way to backup which makes a perfect image of what you had before is by using Clockworkmod recovery. However this recovers root. With this method, a restore will turn the phone back to 100% how it was before you flashed.
The next backup method is Titanium backup. It also requires root if you want it to back everything up. This backs up your data, settings and apps. However, if you want to restore, it restores by installing/copying the items back into the phone, which means sometimes the apps are not how they were before. Also, the free version requires you to manually click through each restore, which takes a long time if you have many apps.
The final method is through Kies, but I believe it just restores your settings, contacts and images. I don't think it backs up the apps.
I did an OTA FW update some days ago without any backup ... ok, a little risk ... everything was fine after the update, NO data lost, everything was still there, mails, savegames, contacts, etc..

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

I flash to KitKat factory image from CM10.2 (wiped everything including my internal memory), and then I flash to CM11 nightly and use titanium backup to restore only my app data. and here is where the problem comes in, none of my data is restoring from Titanium, although it says data restore completed in titanium, it actually isn't. Every apps force close when I open it after restoring. After that if I restart my phone, those app that i restored will be disappeared from my app drawer, it didn't appear in settings -> app either, if i try to install again it won't install, only way is to manually search for the apk file through file manager and delete it. I cant restore anything from titanium backup! FYI, I only backup the data of the app, not including the apk, but after restoring the app force close and restarting my phone the whole app gone missing from my app drawer. I can't lose all my data. what can I do? please help :crying::crying:
Another question, every time after u guys flash a new rom do u restore the old android ID or use new one in titanium backup?
Latest update of TB has caused some issues for many people. For me, on some roms, it fc's when I click an app to restore. Try googling for an apk of a previous version, and see if the problem persists. Regarding the id, you can keep the new one. Some functions might not work properly though, like location update. You can go into your settings for your Google account on a computer and withdraw access rights for apps and devices, then everything is fine. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I'm buying a S7 edge but obviously there isn't a root yet. I have all my apps and data backed up with Titanium Backup, but is there a way to get that onto the new phone without root?
Will google restore my apps and personal data if I add/remove my account and this time select backup my account?
EDIT: google restore didn't work, and I also tried Smart Switch. Since my phone wasn't supported for direct communications, I exported to a SD card and tried to restore from it. Turns out it just installed the apps, not the app data.
You can't restore app data without root. Google will restore apps and some system settings.

Hi folks
A galaxy s4 user here. I have a rooted device and play around with many Roms but am finding my way of installing a new ROM and then restoring my data to be long winded and tedious and am looking for a better way.
Currently I run nightly backups using titanium backup and online nandroid backup.
I am finding though when I restore apps and data using nandroid backup then it all cases its only restoring the app and not the data.
If I use titanium backup I can restore both app and data but the process of restoring my missing items using the batch feature is still messy.
What I want to do is install a new ROM from scratch, connect to google and then use google to restore the apps (as it can only do that anyway) this way I know I am running latest version of app and then use some other restore utility to identify all the users app I have installed and identify the respective data to be resorted.
Is there an app out there that intelligently talks with play store and is able to restore just the data?
Appreciate any help on this. MODs if there is a better forum to put this in my apologises but feel free to move it.
Thanks [emoji5]
