[Q] How do I backup SD Card ROM (Apps +System Data)?

Hi,
I have the DL DesireZ SD MAGLDR Android ROM for HTC HD2 on SD and LEO "Stock Desire" on NAND. I have been using the SD card ROM for about a week now and am happy with it. I would like to backup all apps + System Data & cache (of the sd card ROM) and restore the same to a higher capacity card.
Which would be the best way to do it? (I do have CWM installed through ROM Manager on the sd card ROM).
If I boot into another ROM from the same SD card, will it pick up the apps+data+cache from it?
Will the backup be created on on the sd card or internal memory? I'm not sure there is enough space on internal memory.
I apologise if my question has been asked/explained earlier on this forum. I did try to search for an answer, but was not very sure; as this is also my first stint at backing up.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you plan on using the same build on the new SD card, then just copy the Data.img over. If you are changing builds, use Titanium Backup free on the Android market. This will create a copy of anything you need on a folder on your SD card, and you can restore this at any time.

sd roms live in their own folder. just move this folder to the other sd. all your information and apps are in data.img in that folder. but just in case use titanium backup.
all sd roms use their folders. so you can use more than one sd-rom naming their folders differently with very few problems.

Thank You Nigeldg and mutil for your prompt replies.
Really appreciate it!

I use Titanium Backup free, too.
You can choose "Backup all Apps + system Data" and restore them on every ROM you use.

I have just downloaded Titanium backup free - will be backing up and switching cards shortly.

I've switched the cards, and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help, everyone!
The only thing is, the internal storage has not increased, even though I have increased the partition size of ext2, could it be because I've just dumped all folders on FAT32? Anyway, that's not a major issue.

[Q] could not find backup file saved internal SD Card

I have Galaxy S 4 I9500 and my problem is i could not find backup file saved internal SD Card using ES File manager and the others. The other problem is After deleting folder from internal SD Card Storage capacity do not change. I delete 1 GB data but capacity SD Card same.
Here is the explanation.
First of all i rooted Android 4.3 and then install Rom Manager Program from Goggle Store to backup my all info. Room Manager did not work normaly and i tought that it was due to KNOX. Then i install Philz Touch Coustom Rom and remove KNOX. Then i tried to backup my all sistem via Philz Touch Coustom ROM and it worked. Everything was normal. When i run the Room Manager i could not find backup file to restore. I checked the internal SD Card storage capacity and i saw that it was about 3 GB less. It means Backup file saved to internal Sd Card but i could not find by Room Manager. I decide to find this backup file using ES File manager and the others. I could not find Backup Folder or any Backup file. I tried to one more time have backup via Philz Touch Coustom Rom and this time choosed backup to external SdCard. It worked normaly and and after booting android i found the file using ES File manager and the others but not Room Manager. Then i decided to copy this folder to internal Sd Card to check will i see the same folder in internal SD Card. I relized that i have not enought capacity in internal sd card after backup which i could not find folder but storege size 3 GB less. Any how i tried to copy but after coping 1 GB capacity was full and could not copy all files. It was interesting that when i deleted the copied file about 1 GB, storage capasity of internal SD Card did not change. It was full.
How can i solve the problem? Internal SD Card full but i can not see saved backed file and after deleting file capacity do not change.
Best Regards,

[Q] Titanium backup problem SD card A500 rooted

I am having issues of slowness on my Acer A500 and I wanted to back it up and do a factory restore. I read the forums and learned Titanium is a preferred backup app. I rooted my tablet and that seemed to work ok. I D/L Titanium ok but when I try to do a backup it says insufficient memory. I then learned that it is trying to backup to internal memory and not the SD card, which has plenty of space. If I try to backup a single app it places it in internal memory.
If I look at Titanium overrview it shows /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup as the backup directory. At the bottom it shows Ext. SD card: 67.0 GB (57.0 GB free).
When I go to Acer settings/ apps / Titanium it shows SD card 0.00B.
If I look at settings / storage/ it shows SD card 53.17 GB available.
So I am stuck, unable to backup and procede with with my planned reset. Any suggestions?

Already set to the SD card. I then deleted the TitaniumBacckup folder in internal memory and when I go to Backup folder location I get a red error message "The current backup location ("/mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup") cannot be accessed.
It has a DETECT! /mnt/sdcard radio box to click on but it only finds internal folders. I clicked on detect the whole device but it does not detect the TitaniumBackup folder on the ext sd card.
I also tried using a 16gb sd card from my mp3 player and that did not work either.

Create the backup folder with yr chosen file explorer. Then open tb and choose search for backup folder.

[Q] Galaxy Y GT-S5360: New SD Card?

How do I replace the SD card on my Galaxy Y GT-S5360? I've looked on the forum, but there is no mention of transferring apps.

You can use titanium backup (playstore) to backup all your apps
Once done transfer the titanium backup folder to your pc
Put your new sd card in & transfer the titanium backup folder to it
You can then restore apps
Titanium backup requires root
Of course changing your sd card will only effect apps with the apk or the apps data on the sd card - any other apps that have the apk or data on internal will be unaffected
Remember to partition your new sd card first if you are using link2sd or similar method of virtual storage

complete back up or image on rooted note4 -&- how to install apps on external sd.
Hi,
I am looking for the best way to get a full back up of my phone, as per the Iphones, backed up through I tune.
In other words, how can I have/save an image of my note4, rooted already, and restore just in case?
Back up can be saved to the external sd card or PC.
Can it be done with titanium backup or any other app?
Anyone can explain how/which way can I use Titanium backup for that??
Also,
how can I use my external sd card to install by default all my apps, so I do not use the internal memory??
How to swipe the already installed apps to external sd card?
Thank you for your help !!
