Why Titanium Backup should be installed for every android user? Reliable backup is the key to the safety of your data. If you install a lot of applications, play with the settings, decide to update android firmware, there is a risk of deleting files. It's a little pleasure to set up the phone from scratch, reinstall applications. Using Titanium Backup, in case of an error or failure, you can always return to the original.
Most applications for Reserve copy restore and create copies of files in certain areas. With the Titanium Backup app, you can back up copy android by saving application settings.
2. System requirements for installing Titanium Backup
Titanium Backup is installed with superuser rights only. By default, all phones, except those for development, are not rooted. For Titanium Backup to work correctly, you need an Android phone, and you must have root user rights.
3. Where to download Titanium Backup for Android
When you have completed all the requirements of the application and prepared your phone for backup, download the Titanium Backup application from the link.
4. Backup settings
Titanium Backup uses an optimized version of the busybox toolkit. Busybox is a collection of Unix/Linux utilities and packages bundled into a single file. As a rule, you do not need to change anything in the application settings.
However, if you experience problems with busybox or root access, click the Problems? (Problems?) to update the superuser rights. Try enabling the Force use system busybox setting as the last working solution.
5. Android backup
There are several ways to create backup(backup) to Android using Titanium Backup. You can make a backup of a single application, all user settings and other options. Let's look at the standard scenarios for creating an android backup.
i. How to create the first backup on the phone
- Check that Titanium Backup started without warnings and everything is fine with busybox
- Click the Restore tab
- Open Menu (Button), Batch (Batch Actions)
- Select the option Backup all user apps (if you want to backup applications) or Backup all user apps + system data (if you want to archive everything). The history of contacts and SMS is not always saved.
- Start the copy process, then return to the main tab of the Titanium Backup application.
- Make an individual copy of the system data backup, items marked in green: bookmarks, logs, calendar, shell, WiFi, etc.
- The backup will be named TitaniumBackup on your sd card.
Depending on quantity installed apps, the process may take several minutes. But you don't have to worry that your screen will turn off or the backup will stop - Titanium Backup will do everything to prevent this from happening.
ii. Subsequent backups
Various batch operations are available to choose from. Once you've made your first backup, you probably won't want to make another backup right away - you'll most likely want to make one when you install a new app. And you can find such an option in the list of batch operations...
Please be aware that some applications may contain important data that changes frequently. You can mark them separately (to do this, click Main menu -> Filters (Filters), then Create label (Create a label)) . You can perform regular backups for such programs.
If you have a PRO / Donate version of the application, you can ask Titanium Backup to save the most successful versions of your backups - Main menu -> Preferences -> Max b-up history (Settings -> Max b-up history).
iii. Backup verification
How can you tell if a backup was successful? The first item in the list of batch operations starts the validation process.
iv. Android: scheduled backup
You can install multiple items at the same time. Even being paranoid, it is possible to make hourly backups of settings, plus daily backups of your or user applications. You can also save call and message logs every 3 hours.
v. Extended backups
Some apps (especially games) require more than just an APK and settings. We call this "enhanced application data". You can create backups with this data. For that, you need to go to TB settings and find the option Backup app external data . If you choose to limit the external extended data limit, the next setting you want is Select external data by max size , and you can set the limits here.
Keep in mind that Titanium Backup includes data that is stored in the /sdcard/Android/data/ directory. Some files, such as OBB files, are very large and are downloaded directly from Google and therefore do not store user data. These files will not be included in the backup.
6. Android file recovery
i. How to restore a backup after installing the firmware
- After formatting the sd card (by making a wipe), do not forget to copy the Titanium Backup folder back to your computer.
- Download the program from the Market
- If you decide to restore system data (MMS/SMS) from another phone or firmware, activate the System data migration option.
- Go to the Restore tab (Android backups)
- Open the Batch menu
- Click Restore all missing apps + system data
- Reboot your phone
- Everything! It remains to configure home screen phone
ii. Restoring individual applications when copying
To restore individual applications or their settings, see the Manage Applications section.
iii. Restoring messages
To restore SMS/MMS, calls, phone book, etc., click the Restore button, scroll through the list to find the data you need. Do the same with them as you would with individual applications. Then, if you restored them from a different phone or firmware, activate the System data migration option.
If the data doesn't appear in the list, make sure you haven't filtered it. To do this, go to the menu, select the Filter option and set the filters correctly.
7. Application management
When you click Restore, you will see a list of applications installed on Android. Also available here is information about the stored application data and those that you have already backed up.
The user has access to a menu with various actions: launching the application, backup, restore, settings. You can even reinstall TV through the menu. However, you need to be careful here: if you delete something important, the phone may not work properly. Therefore, you must first. This can be done by freezing it.
Titanum starts acting weird when backing up and copying it - just unfreeze it and you'll be fine.
8. Copy setting
You find the preferences by pressing the menu button and selecting Preferences. Here you can configure the following options:
- Auto-syncTVsettings (Auto sync. TV settings): this option must be enabled. Thus, Titanium Backup will automatically save the settings to the memory card. After a full restore, you may need to restore these settings.
- Backup Folder name : where backups will be stored on the sd card. By default, this is the TitaniumBackup folder in the root directory. If you have samsung phone, use sd/TitaniumBackup to store backups.
- NormalApps (apk): Include *.apk apps in backups
- protectedApps (apk): apps on system partition phone. Because the partition is readable, they cannot be restored here.
- marketLink (Link to Google Play) : whether to make copies of links to applications in the Market
- Max backup history: how many versions of the application to keep in the backup. This is convenient if, after an unsuccessful installation of the application, you need to restore the previous one, working version applications
- compression: what compression format to use for titanium backup.
- Migratesystemdata (Transfer system data): Use this setting before restoring from another incompatible firmware or even another phone model. One way or another, but it usually works with most types of data (SMS / MMS).
- ChuckNorrismode (Mode "Chuck Norris"): use this function to remove "fat and arrogant" applications on your firmware
