Hi everyone. I'm fairly new to Titanium backup and could use some help. I had a Samsung Galaxy s2 that was rooted. I installed Titanium and backed up all user apps under batch actions. I did NOT backup system data because I was told restoring that information onto a new phone would lead to a bad time. I'm trying to restore to a rooted Samsung Galaxy s5 and when I run Titanium it doesn't find any of the app data on my microSD card. When I go to batch actions / restore / user app data it finds nothing. Is there any way to migrate the data I need from my s2 to my s5?
Both are from Virgin Mobile, if it matters. Thank you.

Hi All,
Sorry, I got a pretty silly n00b question... but is Titanium Backup or any other backup/restore app needed, if you just do a backup/restore from the ClockworkMod Recovery too?
Thanks
Sam
A recovery backup doesn't cover the apps you've installed, so without Titanium or the like you'll need to restore them manually.

This is wrong.
A Nand backup (recovery backup) through Clockworksmod DOES backup your apps. In face, it backs up EVERYTHING you have on your phone, aside from you SDcard. It makes a copy of your entire phone exactly as it is when you make the backup.
When you make a nand backup, be sure to mount your /system and /data beforehand or you could run into trouble. Likewise, mount your /system and /data when restoring.
As already stated, a recovery backup creates a full backup of your phones internal files.
Titanium backup should also be used.
Titanium is useful for backing up apps but more importantly it backs up your app data. This is a great feature if you change ROM's often as you can quickly restore your app data, thus restoring game scores, settings, etc.
You can also use Titanium to revert to older versions of apps should an update cause problems.

Very useful information I left out.
ah, thanks, so let's say I have a application that requires a activation code, and I switch from Fission to Liberty or whatever ROM, once switched, I can use Titanium Backup to restore my app, and I won't need to reactivate?
Thanks,
Sam
hey guys so i just lost all my data in final fantasy iv because i did a series of reformats on my phone. however when i restored using titanium backup. it only gave me a restored file from an ooold backup eventho i clicked on backup ALL data.
do you think it is because when i factory reset to prepare for a new rom, it deletes my final fantasy data?
help please cuz i switch roms frequently but i hate the fact i lost my data

Did you have backup App Cache and backup External Data enabled with TiBu?

A week ago, I was flashing through different roms, and I decided to do a data reset through the stock recovery. What a mistake I had made. I lost ALL data on my internal SDCard. *facepalm* (thankfully, I had most of it backed up elsewhere, so it was really just a massive inconvenience).
Do you have an external SDcard inserted? I'm curious: It's possible that you were storing backups on your external for some time, and then somehow switch to internal storage for backups... and then the internal got wiped (reverting back to external)?
Just a shot in the dark.
How to backup apps with their data? i am using galaxy y duos s6102, which doesn't support helium app. Is there any other app to backup apps data?
First Make Nanroid Back
Then go to Advanced Restore then Select Restore Data

Use titanium backup to backup user apps and data - you need to be rooted

This is wrong - a nandroid backup only backsup system apps and data and NOT user apps - To backup user apps use titanium backup
No actually that works... just that a nandroid takes up a lot of space...
Sent from my CM7 GT-S5570I
just Use titanium and you will be ok
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.
I have a N9005 with the stock rooted Polish Lollipop 5.0 ROM. Whenever I do a Titanium Backup it appears that only the data for each app is being backed up. If I try to do a restore there is only the option to restore data, not the app. I have given TB permission to write to the SD card through Lollipop's pain-in-the-neck SD permissions thing. I have also tried a different SD card but still no success. Has anyone else found this?
Nope works as it should .
Try removing TB and installing fresh application .
Thanks. I wiped TB data & cache, uninstalled it along with the TB Pro key and the problem is still present after a reinstall. If I do a first backup of a single app it looks fine and I can restore the app + data. If I do a batch backup (e.g. all user apps) it seems to backup only the data. If I repeat an individual backup for one of these already batch backed up apps the problem remains. If I delete the backup for an individual app I can then repeat the individual backup and it backs up the app + data. TB Pro is working fine on my LG Gpad 8.3 with CM12.1 Lollipop. So I'm guessing there's a fault with the batch backup part of TB with this Samsung ROM .
