Titanium backup - what does it backup?

[Guest Broc]

How does this work.. it backs up the ROM, the apps, the settings, everything?

And once it's done this we should copy the backup it makes to the PC?

Best way: try it and see.

(Only apps and settings, not ROM or boot. For complete, but not editable or selection restoring: clockworkmod recovery backup)

So if I was to use titanium backup then flash a new ROM, everything will be how I like it?

EDIT: I just realised that was really vague. All my phone settings and application settings will be the same?

I've chosen to backup all "apps and system data" and now have a folder on my sd card called titanium backup with lots of files in it - but in what circumstances would I need them and how would I reinstalled those apps and data?

I can't find an app called clockworkmod recovery backup but there is one called "ROM Manager - Clockworkmod"?

Opened it and its stuck on "asking for root rights"... Any fixes?

Yes, make sure your phone is rooted, and if not, root it first.

Come on, you do not give any information on what you have installed (stock Orange, custom ROM?), what you have already tried, and are also not using the Search function. Many of these things are in the stickies, start reading those before asking.

Just force close TI and restart it. That works for me...

If I make a Titanium backup then do a factory reset and then update to a new rom (eg 2.1 to 2.2)...can I restore only the apps that were installed on 2.1 onto the new 2.2 rom or can I only use it to do a full restore from a backup?

That's what I did when I moved from 2.1 to 2.2

Hiya

Got a query about Titanium backup

I've used it quite a bit, but have always found that when I give it a lot to do it freezes, ie I just had it try to backup all my apps and data, it got half way through (80 odd apps, so it's quite a lot of stuff) but then it choked - didn't say anything but just stopped. when i came back from lunch it was still there having done about a quarter of the backup. Left it 10 mins and it was still at the exact same spot

I've found today (and previously) that if I back up in chunks (so today I did 4 backups of twenty) it seems happier. It still got stuck (on Google backup transport 2.2 and then again later on Pico TTS 1.0) but each time I just stopped the Titanium program and backed up that item individually - went ok

It gets there in the end, it's just a bit of a pain having to go back and start it up again

I always update Busybox so it's not that

Just wondering if anyone else has this kind of problem, or is it just a fire and forget thing for everyone else?

Thanks

I am using the same rom and have the some problems from time to time, I think that there is a post explaining how to fix this doing some editing of system phone file - search in FLB Froyo thread.
