For those who have rooted their tablet take a look at Online Nandroid Backup and the corresponding Nandroid Manager applications in the Play store. The backup app provides a clockwork recovery type backup that can be saved to internal storage or to your SD card. I have not tried the cloud option.
The manager app allows you to review your backup and to perform a restore.
What I have not tried yet, it to consolidate the backup into a zip file. If this works the we could use the combination of the bakcup app and the Cyanogen recovery to restore previous backups from the recovery mode, and work with any custom ROMs that become available.
Again, this does require root, but that is very easy to obtain.:good:

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
every time i do a cwm back up it saves to phone storage not my sd card and it dose the something for titanium back up help.
m
I don't know if cwm can save the nandroid backup on the sdcard, but in twrp recovery on the backup page you can select where to save the file. As far as titanium backup, go into your preferences and select your sdcard for the backup location.
Yes. In oudhs cwm recovery, you can choose to backup and restore to external card. In titanium, you can go into settings and choose the physical SD card as your backup path.
I am ready to switch from my 'old' xt907 to my 'new' xt907. both are on stock KK 183.46.10, rooted, unlocked, with TWRP 2710.
to have an exact carbon copy i figure i will need to :
1) copy my OS with all my hacks, exploits, tweaks, etc
2) copy all my applications with their appdata etc
to accomplish (1) i have used TWRP to create a backup of all 4 partitions.
is this enough? all i have to do is flash/recover it on the new phone?
to accomplish (2) will Titanium Backup do the job? can this even work or am i dreaming?
will i be able to also backup my Xposed framework apps?
and then what? i just copy the backups to the TiBu folder on the new phone and restore?
TIA
follow-up
how should i save my apps/appdata? do i
1) backup in TiBu and then create the system backup in TWRP and use that an i'm done? or
2) backup in TiBu and take those backup files and copy them to TiBu on the new device after it is restored with TWRP, then restore the app data with TiBu?
If you have twrp on both all I did was make a twrp back up to external SD then copy whatever I wanted from internal storage from device A.... Then restored the back up on device B... Your app data and all will be restored
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Solved
thanks, after some trials and error i ended up finding this page and the instructions were flawless. http://heavyjumbo.com/2013/10/13/mi...android-phone-to-another-using-twrp-recovery/
Hello
I made a full backup with philz and transferred it to my pc. Tried to delete the backup folder from my internal sd card but can't. Get this message:
Cannot delete backup: the storage is write-protected. Remove the write-protection and try again.
BTW, I'm on stock kk 4.4.2
Thanks for your help
By default, CWM and Philz protect the nandroid data from being deleted since they utilize an incremental backup scheme rather than the older image file setup. For example, let's say you have three nandroid backups: A, B, and C. If the nandroid data wasn't write protected and you delete backup A, you would screw up ALL your nandroid backups. A is the master backup. When the recovery makes backup B, it only backs up the changes made between A and B. If you then made backup C, it would back up the changes between A AND B, and C. Since the possibility of screwing up all your backups by deleting the oldest is a major problem, CWM and Philz write protect the storage.
Go into Philz, then enter the backups menu. Delete the existing backups using its delete function, then select "free unused storage data" to recover the space. After doing that, switch to TWRP 2.8.6.0, as it doesn't make incremental backups and thus doesn't write protect the storage space. Also, unlike CWM and Philz, you can place the backups on your MicroSD card..
Done....thanks very much Strephon
hi, i have the same problem and it work, thanks!
So I had problems with my phone and I decided to go back to pure stock marshmallow but before I could do that I ended up moving all of my data folders from internal storage to my micro SD card then I ended up flashing twrp using fastboot I backed up my Marshmallow Stock ROM and flashed AICP ROM with magisk it was successful, then I downloaded titanium backup gave it root permissions then i went into the Backup/Restore section and couldn't see my backups. In file manager in my internal storage I'm able to see the Titanium backup folder and my backups as well I went online and it said to go Main menu, preferences, backup folder location and I'm able to see my backups there. I even tried moving them to my SD card and but when I go into the titanuim backup folder it shows a grey "Use the Current Folder" so I ended up moving titanium backup folder to internal storage clicking "Use the Current Folder" but in the Backup/Restore section there are no backups what can I do?
