http://androidforums.com – Since my phone got upgraded to ZVD by LG (with some Verizon add-ons like the power-on sound which is cool :)) and I wanted my data back from GSE, I went into CWM and did an advanced restore from the backup I did prior to returning the phone and it restored all my data, apps, wallpaper, etc back to how they were. I got to wondering wouldn't it be more convenient to backup/restore your entire /data partition this way than doing a backup in Titanium Backup then having to restore and deal with the issues that can happen with TiBu?

Stories similar to Restoring Data With TiBu vs.CWM Data Restore

It seems as if every time I flash a new ROM and try restoring my applications, data, and settings, something ALWAYS goes wrong or doesn't restore correctly.

What is the right way to use TiBu and/or how do YOU use it from backup to satisfied restore?

[Q] tibu and previous ID 35 weeks 1 day ago

After doing a factory reset, I've noticed that titanium backup asks to restore ID or give new one. Are there issues with using the old ID if you happen to restore apps (without data)?

I want to wipe /sdcard and then to restore apps and data. So what I'll do:

1. Titanium Backup for all apps and data. 2. Wipe /sdcard. 3.

I'm using: NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.4

Something went wrong on my phone so I decided to restore a backup. I had one from 2 weeks ago. After the restore completed, I rebooted my phone. It was stuck on the ROM splash screen and never got past that. I left it running for 20 minutes. I tried clearing /cache and dalvik-cache, with no luck.

I just flashed liquid smooth 4.2.1 jelly bean and saw that I can't restore Data from titanium backup? Has anyone tried it? What will happen of you do. I have lots of apps that I wish to restore with that. Thanks.

I have a few question regarding nandroid backup and titanium backup.

1. If I do nandroid backup of original ROM and then I flash to another ROM, what happens if I directly do restore from the backup from another ROM?

2. What is the difference between nandroid backup and titanium backup? As far as I'm concerned, titanium backup only backup the apps + data. How about nandroid backup?

[Q] Backup application. 30 weeks 6 days ago

Hey Guys.

I'm looking for an backup application which will allow me to backup my apps and system data on roms based on stock ICS and restore to JB and vice versa.

Titanium backup does the job but after restoring on a new rom I get a lot of fc's and none of the apps works. I cannot restore call log and text messages, accounts, etc.

There's a lot of backup apps, I know.

For those of you that use Titanium Backup there was a significant update to the application today. You have always had the ability to backup your apps and do a batch restore of your apps and data or just restore the app with no data.

Well now it gives you an option to create a zip (flashable in recovery) of either your apps or your apps with data.

So i backed up my phone via CWM before custom ROM installation. After installation of the new ROM, is there any way to just restore the app+data from the previous backup ?? Yes i know i can use TB but i want to know if there is a way to restore from the CWM backup I created !! i tried google search n all but no satisfying answer :(
