Hi,
Anyone know of a APP that can backup certain folder OTA?
I want to backup some folders to my FTP every night over 3G or wifi.
Thank you,
I use Titanium Media Sync. It allows you to select sync folders and it allows multiple differenet destinations including dropbox, ftp,sftp and ftps
And it's written by the Titanium Backup folks.

I use Syncness. Along the same lines as Titanium Media Sync but I believe more useful.
Hi,
I'm going to venture into the world of Custom ROMs for the first time, and before starting I wanted to take a data backup, mainly Contacts, Messages, Photos, Copilot Maps, HTC Location Data, etc
Is there an app that can achieve this for me?
Note: I have an unrooted phone & need an app that'll work in unrooted mode.
The reason for the above is that to Root my phone via AAHK, AAHK needs to downgrade my build first (and that means full wipe).
Contacts are backed up online on Google. for SMS, use SMS BAckup & Restore. I started writing small tutorial on my site, not finished yet, but I covered rooting and backing up: http://projects.lanik.org/AndroidProjectROMs.htm
cheers,
D.
You can use My Backup Pro, they have a free (time trial) version. In your case you will only use it for one day I'm guessing.
You need to install it again after you root your phone in order to restore your files.

After you get root, the best app to go to is TitaniumBackup. They also have a free version.

As for your contacts and SMS, dalanik (post above) got you covered

That's true. You don't need any app to back up ur contacts. All u need to do is setup a gmail account, and then your contacts will sync automatically with ur account!
As for Titanium Backup, you can only use it if you are rooted. In the OP case TB doesn't work. He needs to use an app that doesn't require root. My Backup Pro will do (they have a free time trial edition)

To backup SMS & MMS I recommend message sync.
Agreed... As above, I only use gmail to backup my contacts and calendar... As for other data, I use MyBackup Pro... Never tried titanium backup though because mybackup pro works for me just fine.
I've just gone through this process myself today. I purchased the My Backup Pro app and backed up my Apps and my Data to my SD card.
If you choose to use this App, do the following after downloading it:
Backup your data and your Apps to your SD card.
After flashing a new ROM, don't panic!
Log into your google account, go to the marketplace and download My Backup Pro again and open the App.
Press on restore and then restore your Data and your Apps.
The App also allows you to move Apps to AS card to free up internal phone storage space.

If you have rooted your device, you can continue using My Backup Pro; especially if you have purchased the paid version.
However, if you only have the Time Trial version, you can download Titanium Backup (Free Version). I have been using TB (though Paid version) for a long time. I'm happy with it.

If you don't want have problem with lost data, this is a good idea!
Try use Titanium Backup, or Nandroid Backup, Nandroid Manager of any backup software you like.
You'll ony give value for your data when you lose any information.
The best way to back up literally EVERYTHING is a NandroidBackup. Install a custom Recovery like CWM (Clock Work Mod) if you dont already have one. Through CWM, you can backup your phone AS IS, and upon restore, it will restore everything from Contacts, to text messages, to apps, to the Data of those apps, to phone call history ,,,, basically everything
Titanium Backup is the safest and the most reliable app
I usually use titanium to backup my installed application before flashing a new rom... N I hv to backup manually data of the big game.. Like one from gameloft..
Since I use color notes to keep everything n it has backup feature..
And I use google contact permanently to backup my contact n synced between my phone, tablet, and netbook..
For sms just go to playstore.. There is many backup program for it.. But I dont care this one being ridden.. So I dont back up it..
It suck to have generated 10 post just to tell how happy n thankfull iam for using a rom they make.

Backing up "whole data" sounds to me like wants to clone his entire drive.
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

Hi,
over the past years I have been flashing more than 50 different ROMs on my S2 so I wanted to share with everyone how I restore my favourite config and data every single time.
I will list all the different items that are important for me to restore. If you want to add others that matter for you please do.
I am NOT going to explain how to flash a new ROM. There are dozens of threads about that already.
BEFORE flashing the new ROM here is what I do:
1) Apps:
Backup all user apps + data with Titanium Backup and save them to external SD card.
2) SMS:
Backup all SMS + Call Log to my Gmail Account with any backup/restore SMS app
3) Calendar and Contacts:
My calendar events are always created on my google or exchange account so I just have to sync, same for contacts.
They are auto restored when logging in to Google account on the newly flashed ROM.
4) Launcher:
I prefer Nova Launcher so it's easy to make a backup of my favourite launcher config.
After this is done (~10 mins of work) you can save your new ROM file to SD card and flash it in recovery mode.
When entering the new ROM (fully wiped!) you can restore everything in the following order:
1) Calendar and Contacts will be auto restored once you are logged in to your Gmail account
2) Install Titanium and restore Apps (some apps don't work when restored so you have to fresh install them, most of them work fine)
3) After apps you restore backed up Nova config
4) Restore SMS and Call log (This can be done at any moment)
The whole process (backup, flash and restore) takes about half an hour maximum.
If someone can improve/approve this method please share!
PS: My question to everyone: Is there a way/app to save/restore the android settings between ROMs?
Try making a CWM backup and restore using Nandroid Manager app
Well that will just restore my backed up ROM right?
The above guide is for installing a new ROM after full wipe and recovering your personal data and apps in that new ROM...

The first step i don`t thing is gonna work if your gonna change from 4.1.2 to 4.2 or 4.3. I guess you have to do some settings in Titanium.
if you dont have important data on the apps you can go to installed app on google play and install them, and if you backed it thru google backup turn on the wifi and it will download them automaticly
quiet imekesm
Backupping apps with TB is kinda useless since Google synchronizes apps from your last installation. Also restoring data could be harmful for your device stability if it runs different android versions. Maybe you should write in OP
I always stay on 4.1.2 because it serves me best so the TB method works perfectly. I also feel like TB does a better job then Google backup

you can also try go backup pro for apks and data ...and my backup pro for phone setting
Google backup restores app data too?

Thanks for this. Its been really useful for me
But doing these backups, then changing rom there is the risk of creating compatibility problems?
Only compatibility risk is if you're going to another Android version from what you had before (4.1.2 to 4.2.2 for example). Still most of the apps will work fine...
If an app fc's reinstall it from
scratch, still better then the need to reinstall all of them...

I have found that Titanium Backup works quite well for me. I use the pro versions and haven't had problems restoring apps and even settings after flushing new ROM.
