Hello and sorry for posting here but I can't find a solution to make Helium to restore or backup my apps to Sd card... I'm using Kushan ROM lite version... with Sd card protection removed... but I can't backup my apps... Please someone help me... Thank you !!
Use ES File Explorer instead to back up and restore apps. As a bonus, if you're rooted (and you should be if running a custom ROM), it can also back up the data associated with the apps for later restoration.
Or titanium backup

Do i need to install titanium backup to external sd card so i cab restore the backup on internal sd card of GT? I am asking because if i flash the device and the tit. backup is on the internal sd card everything will be deleted including tit backup app so from where i can restore my backup?
No need. You just install titanium on the phone and do the backup. You can then move the entire directory to your external sd card. When you flash, you just install it again and then restore your backup.
/Feras - Galaxy Tab
sorry which directory to move you are talking about?
No need to move anything. Just change the backup folder in TB - Menu - Preferences - Backup folder name from the default of TitaniumBackup (which is on the internal SD card) to external_sd/Titanium Backup (which is on the external SD card). Voila! You may need to reinstall TB from the Market if you have deleted everything but the backups will remail on your external card.
norm2002 thanks, you know without changing the directory (before reading your post) i backed up everything and then flashed with JMI, flashed perfectly and then installed Titanium back and when i tried to restore i see no files to restore it was 0 written. I was assuming TB uploads all data to it's server but now No Voila for me. But now you taught me how to backup. Will press thanks for your help.

That was very helpfull. Had the same problem wenn i flashed the Roto-rom. Thought i was covered with Titanium. But the flash deleted mij internal-sd. Now all is on the external and i am very pleased..
i've always run how norm2002 describes it. hasn't failed me yet.
oh men, no offence, but this forum is becoming a rubbish container...
times ago I remember this forum as one where there were only advanced users posting their finds and where the newbies could read and learn about...
but now every new(to android and not only!) user is opening 3d here and there so the usefull 3d are going to finish bottom page or even in the other pages and finding what you need is becoming just as searching a needle in the rick.
so please USE THE SEARCH BUTTON and some nous before posting such things...for the "well being" of the XDA comunity...
thanks and I repeat : NO OFFENCE INTENDED!
how could somebody pretend to mod his cell/tab without even reading the settings in the apps he uses?
.....to posterity the arduous sentence!

Thanks, I'll make the change too.
If you want to be sure, you could always copy the titanium backup folder from the tab to your PC(USB), and copy it back after formatting/flashing a rom.
Nice tip norm2002! I can't count the times I have deleted my precious backups when I repartitioned!
Thank you all, you guys are very informative.

The more places you can have backup files saved, the safer you are. With TB it's wise to have the backup files stored on:
- External SD card
- PC
- Dropbox
This way, regardless of what happens, you have your backup files safe and can set up your Tablet (or a new one if your old Tablet gets lost/stolen) easily.
Ok guys thanks for all the answers
The dropbox option is very cool!
I'm planning to replace my SDcard with bigger storage.. Can someone please tell me what to do for keeping all my old files and setup including important system files like, xrecovery+busybox..
Thanks in advance..
make a backup first.
1.backupandrestore.apk (in minicm thread)
2. titanium backup .. apk/data
3. I also use myphonexplorer. .. numbers
4.xrecovery backup ..system
just switch sdcard in xrecovery mode.
make backup again (or copy from first sdcard), restore

Hey guys,
could you help me out restoring my settings with titaniumbackup, here's my problem:
I backed up my settings on my previous rom (DHDrom SD), then flashed to cyanogenmod7, but to get rid of all the garbage on my SDcard(like stupid pictures and sounds used in wmapplications that appear in my android gallery and music application) i wiped my SDcard clean (i did backup my SD on my computer). But now is the problem that titaniumbackup obviously can't find the backup file anymore because i wiped my SDcard. So...
Is there a way to fish up my backup file from the SDcardbackup on my computer and get it properly onto my actual SD so that titaniumbackup could use it to restore my settings?
im sorry for being a nb
Thanks!

Hi,
Looking at my own sd card ,I've got a TitaniumBackup folder and a TitaniumBackup-3.7.3.2.zip.
See if you have anything like on your pc backup, restore them to the card,and see if that restores your settings.
nope didnt work the only thing i can find with the name titanium in it is an empty folder in the data folder
The default location for Titanium backup is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup. If that folder doesn't exist or is empty, then it seems your backup is lost.
Okay and couldn't it be hidden in the root folder somewhere because titaniumbackup always asks for root access? Because I used the free root version of titaniumbackup?
Anyways thanks for answering!!
Hey everybody i just made my account but I'm not a total noob. like the registration video says ............as i know how to root and copy apps to sd and roms and xrecovery and all that stuff......etc.
Anyway the problem i faced is that i have my x8 rooted and all app on sd using "link2sd" and made a backup with xrecovery too then i decided to buy a new 8gb sd card but after i partitioned it and copied all my stuff when i restore my backup my apps doesn't show
so please any one tell me how to copy the whole things from my old sd card to my new one to have the phone just the same but with larger space in sd ?????
thanks for anyone who helped or even tried to.
put in your old sd card, so you will have all apps installed, backup them with titanium backup, then make a partition on your new card, put it in the phone, restore apps with titanium, move them to sd card witk link2sd
i hope that this will help you
Use Clockworkmod-Recovery.
It also backs up your sd-ext and the.android_secure folder.
every thing is screwed up when when i used that CWM recovery it could not restore the backup on the new sd card so i went back to the old one but it restores with no apps appearing in menu they are installed but corrupted or something .....after that i went back to xrecovery with hope BUT no .......the same thing happened restores with no apps appearing so i'm kind of desperate and probably will reinstall each and every app. losing all progress in them and all info so any last suggestions plz.......
AND thnx for anyone helped or didn't

Guys This is a noob question but please help me with this
After Rooting my phone i backed up my apps with Titanium Backup with Apps + Data
then later i was planning to install a new ROM so i even backed up my ROM using Philz Touch Recovery with Data+System+Cache+Boot.
After trying several ROMS one of it asked for clearing the Internal Storage (Media Storage) and i lost all my photos and stuff.
Currently after returning to my Stock ROM and flashing Titanium Backup apps back i cant find My Audio Manager (Hiding App) data.
On Trying to remember i think that the app location was set to sd card.
I want to recover my Audio Manager Apps Data because it was really Important
I currently have a full backup of my stock ROM which totals abut 8.56 Gb is there any way to just get the data back.
It was reallly IMPORANT Please Help.
Titanium backup folder is set to the internal storage by default. Unless you changed that.
When restoring a backup there it should ask you what you want to restore. Data, system, boot, efs, etc.
Just select data. But this will restore all backed up data from your backup.
I know the stock samsung rom is about 3.5 GB, the rest is data. So you will have 5 GB of data that might need restoring.
