How to use Titanium Backup

Many people know that Titanium Backup is a good thing, but they don’t know how to use it after downloading it. If you haven't learned how to use it yet, please be patient and follow along to learn how to use this tool. It will definitely be of great help in your future gaming days.

Basic information of Titanium Backup

What is Titanium Backup? Titanium Backup is a software specially developed for Android operating system backup. It can backup the entire system or part of it according to the settings and needs. The software performs backup and restoration to avoid system damage and software damage caused by misoperation. It can not only back up all programs on the phone, but also save the data of each program, Android market links, etc., which is very powerful.

It greatly reduces the time required to restore the system. It can be said to be the Ghost of the Android system. It is currently the most powerful program and system backup tool and requires ROOT permissions to run.

For games, you can also back up game progress. Another feature is that you can copy the backup content of other mobile phones and restore it to your own mobile phone, which is used to modify game saves for playing games.

How to use Titanium Backup

Chapter 1 - Modify the file backup path

For those who are using Titanium Backup for the first time, you can try to customize it Here is the file backup path:

Titanium Backup will back up programs and data in the TitaniumBackup folder of the SD card by default, but if it is like some users use, it contains both internal and external SD cards. If you have a mobile phone called Atrix 4G (there are several such mobile phones besides Atrix 4G), it is necessary to modify the backup path in order to save space on the built-in SD card. Specifically, you must first click the backup folder button in the settings, as shown below .

Then press the return key (the one among the four King Kong keys at the bottom of the phone) to go back layer by layer, and then select sdcard-ext/TitaniumBackup (if there is no TitaniumBackup folder, please create one yourself).

Chapter 2: Basic settings of Titanium Backup

Don’t rush into it after changing the path. Let’s modify some basic settings to make Titanium Backup work better. Some.

First we need to check the automatic synchronization settings so that Titanium Backup's own settings can also be backed up.

Next, please make sure that ordinary programs, protected programs, system programs and market links are all ticked, as shown below.

What should be set later is the maximum backup record. The editor's opinion is that it is more reasonable to set three backups. If it is too few, the version with the problem may be backed up and it will be unable to recover. Any more will waste storage space. The last thing to note is that if you are using a non-native ROM or need to restore the backup in another phone in the future, you must check the option to transfer system data, otherwise please do not check this option.

Chapter 3: Illustrations and First Backup

Friends who are using Titanium Backup for the first time will be dazzled by its colorful software list and various icons. In fact, you need to understand these logos thoroughly. It's not difficult either.

White is third-party software, red is system software that does not need to be backed up, and green is system software that is recommended to be backed up. As for the meaning of the different icons, you will understand if you look at the picture on the right.

After you have thoroughly understood the basic concepts, you can start trying to back up for the first time. Here, just click the button to back up all programs and system data in the batch process.

It should be noted that after the backup is completed, be sure to click the Verify Your Backup button to verify the backed up files to prevent the backup from being unsuccessful or incomplete.

Chapter 4: How to use filters

Filter is a very important concept in Titanium Backup, and you need to deal with it whether it is backup or restore. One of the most commonly used filters is the user filter that filters by type. After checking and clicking Apply, only third-party software will be displayed in the program list.

The second is the system filter. After checking it and clicking Apply, the program list will only display system software, that is, the software that comes with the ROM.

Chapter 5: Setting system data tags

Tag is a function of filter and is also an equally important concept in Titanium Backup.

The advanced operations that will be discussed later are inseparable from filters and tags. Please create a data tag for the most important tag system of Titanium Backup.

To create a system data label, first enter the filter, click the Create Label button and enter the four words system data, and then click the Add/Remove Element button.

In addition to checking all green software, we also need to check an additional red software. Its name is SettingsStorage. This software naturally corresponds to the settings program in the mobile phone.

Chapter 6: Creating a Task Plan Part 1

After creating the tag, you can create a task plan so that Titanium Backup can automatically back up on time.

When it comes to automatic backup, the first thing to back up is naturally the system data, because important data such as text messages, contacts, Wi-Fi, etc. are all saved on the system data.

Since the system data is so important, you can set it to be backed up twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. In this example, the backup times set by the editor are 6 am and 6 pm respectively.

Take creating automatic backup of system data in the morning as an example. Just click Task Schedule and New Task in sequence, then click the Edit button, and then select Backup All System Data from the first drop-down option.

Then select system data in the second drop-down option (this is the label you just created), and finally set the time and check seven days a week.

Chapter 7: Creating a Task Plan Part 2

After creating the system data for automatic backup in the morning, you can follow the same steps to create another system data for automatic backup in the afternoon.

After the automatic backup of system data is created, we also need to create an automatic backup plan for third-party applications. The method is to select Backup all programs and No filtering in the first and second drop-down options respectively. As shown in the picture on the right below.

After the three task plans are created, we only need to check the enable button and we are done.

Chapter 8: Titanium backup and restore method

Let’s talk about the correct method of titanium backup and restore.

After restoring factory settings or flashing a new ROM, you need to use Titanium Backup to restore.

Of course, the prerequisite for restoration is that you root your phone first and install the Titanium Backup software again, and set the backup path to be consistent with the backup path set in Chapter 1.

The specific restoration steps are:

The first step is to select the user in the filter and apply it, and then select to restore all programs and data in the batch process.

The second step is to select all in the filter and apply it, and then select to restore all programs and data in the batch process.

The third step is to restart the phone and everything will return to the original state.

The reason why the above steps must be strictly installed is because operations other than the above steps will restore all system data, which may cause system conflicts or even endanger system startup.

Chapter 9: Supplements to Titanium Backup and Restore

After restoring all the data, there is still one thing that has not been restored, and that is the equally important Google Electronic Market application list. Here we can click on the market doctor in More to restore it. Of course, you can also click on any program and choose to detach from the market to prevent the program from appearing in the electronic market list.

In addition, short-pressing any program in the backup/restore program list can also see the backup details of the program. You can click the restore button to restore a single program, or delete its corresponding backup. Uninstalled programs can also delete their backups by clicking the Delete Backups of Uninstalled Programs button.

Okay, that’s it for the tutorial on using Titanium Backup. Do you understand?
