Hello, everyone.
If you use the Galaxy Note surely you know powerful note software S Memo, but the backup / restore the database precautions written on it, then reinstall the ROM, not everyone well known. There are many ideas that use EverNote sync or sync via GoogleDocs, but when will restore the entire image. Jpg can not edit as the original data. Other ideas using Titanium for backup but that's not enough well-trained, when restore corrupted data, will not complete. I will guide a simple backup and restore performance original data.
First you download and install Titanium Backup. Open the tab Backup / restore, find S Memo and backup it.
Then you use a file management program, recommended Soid Explorer, goto the folder SDCard / Application, zip or copy SMemo folder to anywhere. So successful backup. Suppose now you've reinstall the ROM, you perform the restore:
Titanium Backup, open the tab Backup / Restore selected S Memo, select restore, informed choice is to restore data only / app only / data and app, we just need to recover data should select data only.
Then goto sdcard / Application / delete current Smemo folder, extract zipped smemo or copy backed up smemo folder to here. Ok. Smemo will recover its original state resources when you backup.

Does this work with S4 ? Anyone knows ?
No matter what I do after flashing a ROM, I can't get TiBu to restore any app/data. After flashing the new ROM, I download TiBu from App Store and then hit menu then batch, go down to restore missing apps/missing apps+data but it shows NO apps or data as in zilch, nothing nada as if I have no apps backed up.
I know I have been using TiBu to back up my apps on a daily basis-blah blah blah. What gives?
I have tried to restore from a nandroid I made right before flashing the new ROM but it just hangs on analyzing data from backup???
Could it be folder issue? Open "menu" in TiBu, "preferences", scroll to "backup folder location", select "detect" and choose "whole device" and see what it comes back with.

I hope you were having TB back up to your external sdcard, if you weren't then when you factory reset you lose your backup. By default TB backs up to the internal sdcard and you have to set external in the preferences section.
Nope its definitely storing on the SD card, I know exactly where the folder and all the files are at. I can see the latest backup files in there.

Use preference to search for backup folder location (as mentioned) select the folder where your files actually are (ExternaSD).
Then go into batch and Run Verify all your backups. That should get them to show up correctly

It shows 0 for number of backups to verify. TiBu seems to not be very user friendly, especially for a noob. Very frustrating to say the least, I hate having to log in to every single application all over again, then rearrange my icons and desktop/screen.
It isn't as if I went from one ROM to a completely different ROM, I went from TriForce 5.0 to 5.2.

Open Titanium to search the entire phone for the backup directory.
If that doesnt find the directory specify it.
By default it looks at internal sd. You need it to look at the ExternalSd.
go into Titanium Backup
click your menu button
select preferences
scroll to Backup Location folder
click your back button on the phone and stop at the /storage folder
there you will see "extSdCard" and "sdcard0" under it.
select ExtSdCard
Then choose 'Use Current folder' IF it shows you backups in there.
It appears you are NOT finding the right folder.
[Now it is possible you backed up to the internal or some other folder I don't know but that should get you started.]
and HOPEFULLY you'll find your Titanium backup folder.

Yes it has found the folder on my extSDCard, it has some 432 backups in there(i believe individual files not backups) it for some reason doesn't restore my apps or data.

Try this Uninstall Titanium (and the Pro license) via apps manager.
Reboot to recovery and delete dalvik and cache then reboot.
Go into playstore and re-install TI and the Pro key then reboot the phone.
Then open TIb and you should be prompted for SU permissions; grant them. Then go to preferences>backup folder location and have it search the whole phone again. then when/if it finds the folder select it.
Then see how that goes - try and 'reverify all backups'. If it finds them you should be good to go.
There is also the 'Problems' button when you open the app which has some suggestions too.

Ok, standby, I'll do that right now. TIA
Oh and go to the Backup and restore tab, then 'search' and make sure you check on 'clear filters'!!
That will cause nothing to show up!
I've done that!

I've just done all that, I have a screen shot but have never uploaded a screenshot to the forum so I don't know how to do that. I know that may get us a little off topic for a bit but at least I could show you exactly what I'm encountering on my end.

That's exactly what mine looked like before and after I clicked on "click to edit filters" and then hit "clear" up at the top...essentially I didn't have any filters from the get go.
First on the filters make sure your's is checked like my pick above. If you've haven't selected anything nothing will show.
then if it doesn't work...
another crazy thing to try.
Create another Titanium folder using file explorer (myfiles or whatever) - Maybe named 'Titanium2' or something on the ExternalSD.
Open TiB >preferences>Select backup folder location.
Then navigate to the new folder (empty one you just created) and then 'Use Current folder'.
Then create a full backup (in batch>backup all user data and apps..).
After that is done go back to preferences>backup folder location and have the app search entire device.
Then see if your 'Real' backup folder location shows up. select it. Then see if you can restore.

Yes all of the filters are exactly as yours before and after clearing all the filters. I would post a screenshot but don't know how to do that. I even went one step further and downloaded the xda app instead of using the tapatalk app, that way I could hopefully mimic you more easily if possible.
Cool.
I have to sign off, got an east cost conf. call I have to be up for in a couple hours.
Please post screen caps of what your stuff looks like and I'll jump back in as soon as I can in the morning.

DING DING DING!!!! There is your problem! You never made a backup with Titanium Backup. The folder you are point to is the TWRP recovery nandroid backup file not the TB backup file. Your backups should be in this folder: /storage/extsdcard/titaniumbackup.
Now the pro TB version has the ability to extract backups from a nandroid backup. Load TB, select menu, scroll down to special backup/restore, and look for extract from nandroid. Good luck.

Thanks cruise350! I didn't see the twrp!!
That'll be the problem.
All the other things I suggest are solutions that have worked for me over the past few years when you actually do have the problem of TiB backups not showing - the filters things is the biggest, happened all the time with my E4GT and S3.
Hopefully he'll get it sorted out.
Hi everyone !
I know rooted users can use just titanium backup to backup their apps. But I think many people don't know the power of HUAWEI BACKUP APP. So, I thought to create a tutorial to how to backup user apps without root. It is more safe to create backup before installing some rom or even installing OTA update ( as I had experience of losing my all data after ota update ).
BACKUP ALL APPS
1. Open Huawei BACKUP app.
2. Create Backup of apps ( If you are going to reset your device...be sure to also tick "system data option. Because after restoring it all your apps icons on homescreen will be arranged as they were before reset. Awesome....right?)
3. Open any file manager and copy Android/obb folder from phone internal memory and paste it into your memory card.
4. Done !
Restore :
1. Open Backup app. And restore your apps from it.
2. Cut the Android/obb folder from your sdcard and paste it into memory card.
You will have everything as you had left. All game progresses will also be restored.
BACKUP INDIVIDUAL APP
1. Create backup from HUAWEI BACKUP app of that particular app.
2. If it is a game then also go to Android >obb and again copy the folder of that respective app to sdcard ( some games don't have any data in "obb" folder ).
Restore :
1. Restore the app from BACKUP app.
2. Cut the folder that u had copied earlier and paste them to their previous location in internal memory.
That's all Folks !
Edit : Removed some useless steps...

This back up app you mean the PC software app, HiSuite?? Can you send a link of the back up app you are saying??
No , not pc suite, but huawei own backup app in the mobile itself. OP is right, it is very powerful. It can even restore your apps and home setting to the font and dot. I used it several times. It is as good as titanium backup and work for non rooted user

Huawei backup restore not only the Apk but the application data also!!
even I didn't setup every app again...
no need for android /obb step
regards
Yes, all app data, setting, even home layout. Truly like titanium backup

Do me a favour... download asphalt8 from play store and then make a backup of it through huawei backup app. Now delete the asphalt8. Restore your game through backup. Open it and now you will have to download additional data of about 1.5Gb.
Now why game is asking for additional data?
Answer is by uninstalling;you have deleted its main data folder located in Android/obb.
Actually Huawei backup app only backups files from android/data and not from android/obb. Thus, that step isn't useless. ( I have already stated that it is specially for games )

A troubleshooting attempt. Initial setup didn't restore my WiFi passwords and playstore purchases. Logged out from my Google account, tried to log back in but doesn't get past the "checking info" screen. Don't wanna factory reset. Wanna try a different restore point.
Sorry,but there is no choice then doing a factory reset,but here is what you can do:
1.download titanium backup and backup all the apps(excluding system apps)
2.go to file Manger and move the "Titanumbackup" folder to SD card
3.reboot to recovery and factory rest
4.do what you want in the setup
5.at the restore apps screen your are going to chose your device and that the apps deselect all the apps expect titanium backup
6.open file Manger and move the "Titanumbackup" folder back to interial storage
7.open titanium backup and restore the apps (that you have back it up from step 1)
Now enjoy[emoji4]

On my Nexus 7 (5.1.1) I'm trying to transfer data from one user profile to another using Titanium Backup. SU is set to allow multiple users. So, TB has root access on each user. I've also made sure that the sd card writing bug was taken care of. (I tried Helium, but the app said that helium was only available for use by the main user, and the profiles I'm trying to work with are not my main user).
When I backup an app, the TB backup folder only containts the .properties text file. I do not see the tar.gz or apk.gz file. (Also don't see the Tibkp file). In TB, when I "backup" an app, the backup runs like normal and the app shows that I have a backup. But if I close and restart TB, for the same app, there is no backup available.
Anyway, dunno if this is the right place to ask. But I 'm a bit stuck.
