It it was a nandroid backup it will restore everything :D Including any missed call notifications B) Google should auto sync and contacts.. Android 2.3 will auto sync settings and apps too There are pleanty of apps to backup and restore different things but they all have their issues. Sometimes best to just resetup your phone manually

If so which parts would be worth restoring.I would want to use this too restore apps etc because most of my apps are on my sd card

You can't just restore settings to a new ROM with this method. Titanium Backup is good for restoring any apps (and their data) that you have installed yourself. As the previous poster has said you can move contacts between ROMs by syncing with your Gmail account (settings->accounts & sync and tick both boxes [background data and auto-sync]), rather than using Titanium Backup. It is safest not to try to restore any other system settings on a new ROM with Titanium Backup as this can cause the new ROM to not work properly or even at all. Although, if you do have problems after restoring something you can always boot into recovery and wipe data/cache and start the ROM configuration task again. Edited April 7, 2011 by nrev
